This UIC contains (at least) the source and documentation
for an RSX-11 terminal emulator called (originally enough) TEM.
TEM can be initiated from any TT:, HT:, or VT: device, and
will drive any device on the TT:, HT:, or NL: driver. It does
not provide anything really fancy (like help, or escape se-
quence translation), but it does provide the following features
and options:

* Logging of remote input.

* Transmission of ASCII files to the remote system.

* Control character display (line monitor capability).

* Local echo.

* Local and remote line conditioning (via Get and Set Mul-
tiple Characteristics).

* Remote-line-specific startup and shutdown command files.

Unlike the P/OS emulator, TEM has a simple, user-friendly com-
mand driven interface. Non-wizards have been trained in a few
minutes.

TEM requires the full-duplex TT: driver, with "Set Multi-
ple Characteristics" and "Attach for Unsolicited Input". It
was written under RSX-11M+ V2.0, and so far has not been run
under any other system. It should run under RSX-11M V4.0,
though the smaller typeahead buffer may affect performance. It
could probably be "downgraded" to previous releases by removing
functions such as
>SET /NOABAUD
that hadn't been invented yet.

TEM has been used successfully in the following
applications:

* Downloading channel setups to a terminal switch.

* ASCII communication with RSX, VMS, and TOPS-20 systems.

* Submitting pre-prepared SPRs to the Digital Software In-
formation Network.

* Debugging FMS.

* Miscellaneous non-emulation duties, such as uppercasing
files, translating carriage control, etc.


TEM comes with the usual guarantee for public-domain
software (ie - none).

Installation Guide and Release Notes


To rebuild TEM, set your default UIC to the distribution
UIC. Ensure that MAC and TKB are installed, and that LB: is
assigned to a disk that has the desired copy of [1,1]SYSLIB.OLB
on it. Then,
>@TEM
will build it for you.

Following is a list of the files associated with TEM.
Note that those marked "optional" are not needed to rebuild
TEM.
