For now, must be built from source. MSGGRI.BAT will assemble and line the modules. Output is MSTGRI.EXE. MSVGRI.LNK will link the modules. Output is MSTGRI.EXE. Features of Kermit 2.32 for the GRiD Compass II Tektronix emulation is now supported. As with the IBM version, the Tek emulator is automatically entered with ESC ^L or ESC [?38h. Automatic exit is with ESC [?38l or ^X. "DISABLE TEK" will disable automatic entry/exit. Tektronix emulation is functionally very similar to that done for IBM. The principal difference is that characters from the bottom of the screen are rolled around to the top for the GRiD whereas for the IBM version, the user is required to press a key in response to a "More" message when the bottom of the screen is reached. The arrow keys are used to move the graphics cursor. CODE-arrow is for faster cursor movement. CODE-MINUS will toggle between Tektronix and built-in ansi terminal emulation in connect mode. Graphics and alpha screens are saved. CODE-= clears the screen in connect mode. Character are now written to the screen through the BIOS rather than through MSDOS. The keyboard is read once each eight reads of the serial port. These changes have approximately doubled the speed in connect mode to an effective baud rate of about 4800. Xoff/Xon flow control now works. No characters are lost at 19200 baud. (Flow control is probably not needed when using the modem.) By specifying "SET TERM 112x" or "SET TERM 113x", the user tells kermit the size of his screen. This is essential for Tektronix emulation. (112x is the default.) The hangup and send break commands now work. Note: The default escape character ^[ maps into CNTRL-= (control and = pressed simultaneously) on the GRiD keyboard.
