This is a subject near and dear to my heart. I have worked closely with the folks behind both Dynamic Connect and Accuterm to create usable terminal definitions when using SB+ in Character mode.
Neither can be used with SB+ in SB's own GUI mode, although you can do some stuff with the GUI functionality of both programs. I don't think that makes sense in this case as you are talking about an end-user company that I can't imagine is interested in re-writing a lot of your front end. Dynamic Connect comes with a couple of special features that make it more SB+ compatible, although I've had trouble with F5 that I couldn't overcome before, too. You can get the F5 to work by use Ctrl-F and then 5 (like in DEFAULT TERM mode). But be sure to open the configuration page of Dynamic Connect and click-and-hold SB_KEYS and CONTROL_KEYS. (I'm sorry I don't remember exactly how to open that window -- someone else?) I have customers using an adds configuration, Wyse configurations and ansi/vt100/vt220 emulations. None are as perfect as I would like, but I think things go better with Wyse. Note that if you have stuff that is automatically downloading and that sort of thing, it will absolutely fail if SBClient is not at the desktop. Unless you want to rewrite it for DC's download stuff. HOWEVER you could put one copy of SBClient in, for the person who would do that sort of stuff, and the others could still use dynamic connect. I find that there are a lot of variables in the mix -- the platform, what env var is being exported by unix, all kinds of things that make a pat answer impossible, but I set the DC side to an emulation that I like, take a copy of the host side /TERM.DEFN item that I like the best and then tweak it until it is as close as it can get. I'm going to tell you -- this is my least favorite thing about SB. It's a total pain and makes me look like a dork time and time again. /end vent HTH, Susan ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
