Apparently the SET BAUD command is executed without complaint but has no effect in 2.29 (as shown by the STATUS command). SET BAUD works in 2.28 (but 2.28 has other problems, e.g. STATUS doesn't work). Ted Shapin P.S. Here is info on WANG terminal emulation control codes, if someone would like to incorporate this in the WANG dependent module: Date: Tue, 14 Jan 86 13:41:17 est From: "Mark A. Ardis" Subject: Turbo Pascal (MSDOS) on Wang PCs Yes, generic MS-DOS Turbo Pascal runs on Wang PCs without IBM emulation. I have run both versions 2.0 and 3.0. The hardest part of getting it to run is digging out the technical information for the "tinst" (terminal installation) program: cursor lead-in: 27 91 cursor positioning between line and column: 59 cursor positioning after line and column: 102 column first?: n offset to line: 0 offset to column: 0 binary address?: n 2 or 3 ASCII digits?: 2 clear screen: 27 91 50 74 does clear screen home?: y delete line: 27 91 49 77 insert line: 27 91 49 76 erase to end of line: 27 91 48 75 start of low video: 27 91 48 109 start of normal video: 27 91 49 109 number of rows: 24 number of columns: 80 delays (all): 0 operating frequency: 8 I have given all the values in ASCII (decimal---the way "tinst" wants them). The "low" and "normal" video commands are a little confusing. You may want to experiment with changing them. -- Mark A.
