Re: Character mode for 7.3 and beyond

Thanks for this, folks, we are trying this too. But can somebody please give me some tips on converting our custom keyboard/screen mappings? We have a perfectly good oraterm.r, constructed using ORATERM 1.x (?), but I am banging my head against a brick wall trying to convert this information to a .res file. I have got as far as using resprint to get a .prn file from fmrcvt220.res (nearest to our custom map) and resparse to put it back, but I can't seem to tweak the .prn file to work the way I want nohow. Oracle say that using ORATERM 2.x won't work for me in this application (can't remember why). Any help would be appreciated.
