20 Desterm 4 Open D.ROHNER ************ Topic 20 Sat Jan 27, 1990 D.ROHNER at 00:26 EST Sub: Desterm I am having trouble getting this term to work right in Color Graphics mode.*s 4 new messages. ************ ------------ Category 8, Topic 20 Message 1 Sat Jan 27, 1990 D.ROHNER at 00:30 EST I'm looking for any help or suggestions in using Desterm, I can't seem to get it to write down the screen. keeps overwriting 1 line. I have all the wraps turned on but no luck. Is it possible that the charactor set doesn't have a return? ------------ Category 8, Topic 20 Message 2 Sat Feb 10, 1990 M.KELLEY at 00:55 EST You need to set the EOL character in the auto dial directory for the particular BBS you are calling. There is a recieve EOF, and a send EOF, and each one must be set accordingly. Each system you call can be different, and this setting may be different for each telephone book entry you make. Good luck. ------------ Category 8, Topic 20 Message 3 Sun Sep 16, 1990 GC.ROGERS [Greg] at 20:47 CDT Has anyone had the problem that I have had with my copy of Desterm? I have used it with a modem adapter with a 2400 baud modem, and it works flawlessly. Using it with a 1670, it doesn't want to load completely! I can unplug everything from the bus, and all other ports, and it does the same thing. It gets to the shareware announcement screen, and locks. This is where it pauses, usually during a good load, and then continues loading a short part of the rest of the files, I suspect the translation tables, or something short. With the 1670 plugged in, it gets there and locks. This has been reported on several different machines. It MIGHT be the same copy of the program, however. If I don't hear that any of the rest of you have had the same problem as this, I will just try getting it again from here. It a shame, what good is a dynamite program like this, without the modem??? By the way, if you DO have this program, and have another type of modem than the 1670, (or don't have my problem) it is without a doubt the best all around terminal ever written for the C-128... Thanks for the help! Greg ------------ Category 8, Topic 20 Message 4 Mon Sep 17, 1990 ED.BELL at 11:40 EDT Sounds like you are using version 1.02. The 1670 'bug' in it is well -known, and has been addressed in version 2. However, to overcome it in your version, before you load (or run) Desterm, there is a small BASIC program you should run that simply opens a channel to the modem for 1200 baud communication, then, as I recall, closes it. In practice, it looks like this: OPEN 2,2,2,+chr$(8):CLOSE 2 RUN "DESTERM*" Of course, the RUN statement may be a little different, depending on what the filename you actually run is. You can make this a little boot program and just run the boot then. It does work, but Matt fixed the problem for version 2, which is now finished anyway, so.... ------------
