# QTERM
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
QTERM is a terminal program which provides the following:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Capture of text files
|
||
|
|
* Send text files to remote
|
||
|
|
* Xmodem / Modem7 / Ymodem protocol transfer
|
||
|
|
* Kermit protocol transfer
|
||
|
|
* VT100 emulation
|
||
|
|
* Split screen mode to separate typed and received text
|
||
|
|
* Script mechanism for automatic dialing and automation of other operations
|
||
|
|
* Transfer of text to printer
|
||
|
|
* Full user area support
|

It also has a huge advantage (at least for me, Anna) over KERMIT: It does not strip the 8th bit from received characters, so using a VT100 ANSI compatible terminal, you can just log into Telnet BBSes and see the full glory of ANSI/ASCII BBS graphics :)

## RC2014 patch
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The RC2014 patch is created by Anna Christina Naß.
|
||
|
|
It is based on the IMSAI8080 patch by Udo Munk, the SIO initialization code by Steve Cousins and the XMODEM patch for RomWBW by Wayne Warthen.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
At the moment, the patches provided here are tested on a RC2014 running RomWBW and using 2x SC104 serial ports (SIO/2).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you start from QTERM43F.LBR, the patches are applied using `ZSM` and `ZPATCH`, which are included in `QTERM84F.LBR`.
|
||
|
|
To assemble the patch, use:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ZSM QT-RCxx.Z
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This creates QT-RCxx.O, which then has to be applied to the .COM file:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ZPATCH QTERM43F QT-RCxx
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now QTERM43F.COM has the patch applied and should be ready to use.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Using
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The patches (and the final .COM files provided here) work either with the second serial port on a SIO/2 card (base address 0x82) or on the first serial port on a second SIO/2 card (base address 0x84) - hence the naming of the files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So for a RC2014 with one SIO/2 card, `QTERM82.COM` (and the patch file `QT-RC82.Z`) should work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The escape key is `^Y`, so to get help, just press `^Y` and `?` in sequence.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Details
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When started, the patch initializes the serial port and it should "just work".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When exiting QTERM, the "uninitialization" routine is running, which calls the RomWBW function for "Reset with current settings".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I don't know (yet) what will happen on a RC2014 with the default ROM or with SCM.
|
||
|
|
If you have problems, you can change the patch file:
|
||
|
|
In the part:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.org 0x0273 ;exit subroutine
|
||
|
|
exit: jp uninit
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
change the `exit:` line into:
|
||
|
|
exit: ret
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
so the un-initialization routine won't be called.
|
||
|
|
You can then also remove the `uninit:` routine at the bottom of the code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But then, other programs that will use the same serial port (e.g. KERMIT) won't run correctly until you reboot your system.
