
              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.
