Well, ^V^O doesn't work. that was the first thing I tried, as I had recently
read those articles. ;)
This problem only happens under linux.
I am useing 0.96, not .96a, .96b, .96c.....(seems I always grab the latest
version number right before the bugfixes!)
I used dos
(pcplus 2.01) to do the same yesterday, and it works great. :(
now, for the symptoms:
I think the command giving problems is a clear screen sequence from the remote
host, which happens to be a vax running vms. (yech) ;)
The screen goes into the extended character set, but only the lower case
letters! numbers, and capital letters do ok.
go figure. :(
My solution for now:
create a dos partition temporarily.
install dos5.0, and pcplus2.01 on that partition.
use this to login and get the linux stuff I need...
reboot to linux.....
mcopy the stuff over.
I was hoping to use linux only, so I wouldn't have to truncate file names,
but them's the breaks... :(
I am going to do a setterm -file dfile -dump 2 and see if the graphics get
captured, or if it maps normal on another vc....
Later,
