[U2] How do you determine terminal emulator?
Hi folks, I'm wondering if anyone on the list can tell me what I can do to determine whether a user is using the Viaduct terminal emulator via UniBasic? We have some code that can tell if the emulator is Accuterm or Wintegrate, but I haven't been able to come up with a command string that would cause Viaduct to return a value. I've looked through the docs, but haven't found anything. (I may be suffering situational blindness.) To give you an idea, these lines when run in through Wintegrate puts an X into the variable C: PRINT CHAR(27):CHAR(1):ENTER :DQUOTE(X):CHAR(13): INPUT C WAITING 1 ELSE C = Thanks for your time, --bev Bev Wilson 410.309.2700 voice 410.309.2701 fax ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

Re: [U2] How do you determine terminal emulator?
Bev: What I've always done, in all versions of PICK, is define separate term-types based on the emulator (e.g. wIntWy60, AtWy60, VDWy60, etc). Then define the term-type upon user login then you can query the terminal type via the standard SYSTEM(7) function (I use this function in one of our standard includes that assigns a standard variable used throughout our app).

...based on the emulator (e.g. wIntWy60, AtWy60, VDWy60, etc). Of course viaWy60 may be a more appropriate prefix for a ViaDuct terminal. :-) Bill Bill Haskett said the following on 3/9/2010 2:23 PM: Bev: What I've always done, in all versions of PICK, is define separate term-types based on the emulator (e.g. wIntWy60, AtWy60, VDWy60, etc).

[U2] UniVerse Slow - Fixed
So I finally rebooted our server and it was found to be a little faster but not as fast as it once was. I then realized that the slowness was mostly our menu system. I started doing HASH.HELP and then resizing the data files used by the menu system. Our menu system has new (approx. one year old) built-in workflow messaging functionality. After I resized MESSAGES using the numbers given by UniVerse (per the following); we are now once again lightning fast. --Bill File MESSAGES Type= 2 Modulo= 1 Sep= 1 Of the 1011 total keys in this file: 1011 keys were wholly numeric (digits 0 thru 9) The smallest modulo you should consider for this file is 131. The smallest separation you should consider for this file is 2. The best type to choose for this file is probably type 2. ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: [U2] How do you determine terminal emulator?
You can try to do this the hard way and face lack of success, or you can do this the easy way, which is perhaps not as elegant but it's a fast and effectice solution. The hard way: try to come up with scripts that will return useful information from specific emulators without messing up any other emulators. You can probably create a single script for any two emulators, but that's pushing it, and three may be too much to ask. The easy way: Users with different emulators login to different accounts which all have access to the MAIN accounts resources - MAIN.W, MAIN.V, MAIN.A, etc. If you use emulator scripts to login users then you can do this transparently. You could leave each user in their own account, or better, once you have someone in an emulator-specific account you can use a login macro to save their emulator type, then logto the common MAIN account. From then forward, just check the emulator type before exporting a stream of emulator-specific instructions.

In message 6.0.1.1.1.20100309151717.05cc2...@12.167.143.145, Beverly Wilson bwil...@daedalus-books.com writes Hi folks, I'm wondering if anyone on the list can tell me what I can do to determine whether a user is using the Viaduct terminal emulator via UniBasic? Can you configure Viaduct? It should have some sort of answerback function. We have some code that can tell if the emulator is Accuterm or Wintegrate, but I haven't been able to come up with a command string that would cause Viaduct to return a value. I've looked through the docs, but haven't found anything. (I may be suffering situational blindness.)

We had a mix of Prime PT200s, PT250s, Wyse85s, and Wintegrate configured as a PT250. All of the real terminals would respond to a sequence something like esc? (can't remember what it actually was). So I wrote the login program to send this sequence to the user, and the terminal would (as it was meant to) respond with some string without any user intervention. And I programmed Wintegrate to behave just like a pt250 including this answerback. If you look at the pt250.wis (or is it .wit?) file distributed with Wintegrate you might well find my code in there to do exactly that. You'll need to read the Viaduct docu, but if it's at all user-configurable, you should be able to program it to do an answerback. Cheers, Wol -- Anthony W.

[U2] UniData 64 bit build
Previously I asked about 32 vs 64 bit for Unidata and Wally indicated that all Linux (RHEL) builds were 32 bit. Wally (et al), Do you anticipate this changing anytime in the near future or is it the norm for the forseeable future? I'm just trying to develop a long-range plan as we work on a new project. 64 bit unidata and libs would offer us more favorable alternatives, but we are working with what we have now...
