Now that there is some TOPS-20 chatter in the list, I have a question for the experts...
My VAXen have ANNOUNCE banners with escape sequences so the screen gets erased, some text gets highlighted, some other gets reversed and so on. I have tried to do a similar banner for my TOPS20 system, but the <ESC> characters don't get to the terminal. It is like the terminal driver cleans up the stream somehow:
@type announce.txt
[2J[0;0H[1m HECNet - The Hobbyist DECnet network
[7;1m
[27m
[[[[[[[[ [[[[ [[[[[[[[[[ [[ [[ [[[[[[[[[[ [[[[[[[
[[ [[ [[ [[ [[ [[ [[ [[[
[[ [[ [[ [[ [[[[ [[ [[
That is just the beginnign of the banner, but you can get the idea. The question is:
Is there any way to configure the terminal driver so the <ESC> don't get cleared?
