Anzio Versions

Anzio comes in several versions. Some are for Windows, some for DOS. Some are for serial connection, some for network connection. This should help:

Program	Platform	Communication
Anzio for DOS	DOS	serial
AnzioNet	DOS	network (INT 14, INT 6B)
AnzioWin	Windows	multiple
Anzio Lite	Windows	multiple
AnzioWin and Anzio Lite support multiple kinds of connections: serial, TCP/IP, PicLan, and Novells WLibSock. Anzio Lite is a limited-function version of AnzioWin, sold at shareware prices. It does NOT have the following features:

Ability to alter keymaps

Macros/scripting

Some setup options

File transfer (although it does have Kermit auto-download)

Passthrough print directly to a file or device

Background bitmap

If youve seen references to AnzioSoc, that version has now been merged into AnzioWin.


File Transfer

All versions of Anzio except Lite versions have the following file transfer capabilities:

Capture of incoming text to file or printer.

Simple ASCII upload, with or without designated end-of-file indicator.

Proprietary file transfer using Rasmussen Softwares Universal File Transfer (UFT) on the host system.

Pass-through print to file, device, or Anzios page-buffering system.

Kermit protocol.

Zmodem protocol.

Anzio Lite has only:

Capture of incoming text to file or printer.

Pass-through print to Anzios page-buffering system.

Kermit automatic download.

Zmodem protocol.

Most forms of file transfer are initiated by the software on the host system.


Key Mapping

Key mapping refers to the mechanism by which Anzio knows what control codes to send to the host for various function keys and special keys such as PgUp. Some keymap information is hard-coded into Anzio, and other information is contained in various keymap files. So, to work properly with a host program that requires function keys, you will probably have to load a key file, using the File:Read Keys menu item.

Keymaps have been supplied for all supported emulation types. For the VT220, there are three keymap files. See VT220 Keys for more information.

In all Anzio versions except Lite, the user can alter the keymaps. This is done in a text-based routine that is part of Anzios scripting system, as follows:

1. Get to a Function prompt, by hitting <ctrl-shift-F> or <alt-M>.

2. Type the following command:

   define<space><key><space><string><Enter>

where <key> is the actual keystroke (or combination) you want to program, and <string> is the series of characters. Inside <string>, you must prefix an <Escape> with a <control-P>.

3. You can save your changes, either in the same file or in a new file, by using the menu item File:Save Keys. If you dont, the program will prompt you to do so on exit.

You can define function keys in normal, shift, ctrl, and ctrl-shift modes; arrow keys; special keys; and control-keys. You can also separately define the numeric-pad keys when NumLock is off. Other keys on the numeric pad, such as + and Enter, can have two separate definitions, one for when NumLock is on, and one for when NumLock is off.  Giving a key a new definition will override its hard-coded value, if any.

For more details, refer to the Anzio manual.

In Wyse50/60 emulation, the host can download key definitions. This is especially important in the Wyse because ordinarily <left-arrow> and <backspace> send the same code.

VT220 Keys

Anzio, AT386, and SCOANSI Keys


VT220 Keys

The VT220 is a problematic standard, for two reasons. First, its keyboard doesnt match well with the PC keyboard. Second, some keys can change behavior on command from the host. In attempting to support host systems that require a VT220, several assumptions must be made. Some of these are hard-coded into Anzio, and some depend on keymap files.

FUNCTION KEYS

The VT220 has 4 keys (PF1 through PF4) inherited from the VT100. It also has 20 F-keys, but the first five do local operations, and dont send codes to the host.

Anzio hard-codes F1 through F4 as PF1 through PF4. The files VT220.KYS and VT220N.KYS add definitions for F6 through F12 that match VT220s equivalent keys, and Shift-F1 through Shift-F10 to match VT220s F11 through F20 (note two ways to do F11, F12). They also add a made-up definition for F5.

The file VT220S.KYS (S for shift), on the other hand, maps the PCs F1 as the VTs F6, etc.

BACKSPACE AND DELETE

On an actual VT220, the key in the backspace position generates a <DEL> code, decimal 127. Anzios Backspace key can be configured to send out either 127 or 8 (that is, control-H). Anzios <Del> key is hardcoded to generate decimal 127, but this can be overridden by a keymap definition - see below.

ARROW KEYS

The VT220s arrow keys can send out two different code sets, called normal mode and application mode. In normal mode (initiated by <ESC>[?1l), they send codes starting with <ESC>[. In application mode (initiated by <ESC>[?1h), they send codes starting with <ESC>O. Anzio has both modes hard-coded.

THE GRAY SPECIAL KEYS

The keys above the cursor pad, such as <Insert> and <PgDn>, are defined in the various VT keys files.

NUMERIC-PAD KEYS AND APPLICATION MODE.

The numeric pad in the VT220 can be shifted into keypad application mode, in which, instead of sending out numbers, they send out control codes. Anzio allows definitions to be attached to these keys, and the VT220N.KYS file (N for Native) contains the standard key definitions. Note that these apply ONLY when NumLock is OFF. If NumLock is ON, these keys send their labelled numbers, etc.

There is no way in Anzio to redefine the NumLock key.

Printing

Anzio can do screen printing as well as passthrough printing, in which the host system sends down data with control codes indicating it goes to the printer.

There is an inherent incompatibility between the passthrough-print model and Windows approach to printing. In Windows, the program paints elements onto a page, and groups pages into print jobs, which are usually spooled. But the passthrough-print approach is to feed a group of characters at a time to the printer, and the terminal program never knows when the job is finished. More on this below. Also, the data coming from the host may be just printable characters, or it may contain control codes for formatting a particular type of printer.

There are two methods of printing in Anzio.

THE WPRN APPROACH

The standard method in Anzio is called WPRN. This is driver (inside Anzio) that paints characters on a page until the page is full (based on page size and font size), or a formfeed (FF) is received. At that point, WPRN closes the page. The document will remain open until it is flushed, as explained below. Depending on your Windows spooling options, the document may or may not start printing before it is flushed.

The WPRN approach lets the user choose a printer font and size, through menu items.

If the data stream from the host contains control codes for the printer, such as to change orientation or to select a font, those codes will be printed instead of obeyed. This is not what you want. In that case, you will want to turn on Low-level print in the File menu. That tells Anzio to pass the data to the printer directly. This would also be appropriate if the data stream contained PostScript code already.

Note that low-level print often results in a blank page being printed at the end of the job.

Also, the Print Wizard can greatly simplify your printing by automatically making setup decisions based on the data to be printed.

PRINTING TO A DOS FILE/DEVICE

This approach, which is not available in the Lite version, is activated by the command PRINTER LPT2, for instance, entered at a Function prompt. This causes Anzio to do a DOS file open of the indicated name. Passthrough print data is then written to that file. Control codes are obeyed by the printer. This is essentially the same approach that is used by a DOS-level terminal emulation program.

The Printer file will remain open until the print job is flushed, as explained below.

With this method, printer font selection through Windows is not available.

FLUSHING THE PRINT JOB

Flushing is the process of releasing a print job, so whatever spooling mechanisms are active (outside Anzio) will send it to the printer. This happens when a) Anzio quits; b) the user issues the File:Eject command from the menu; c) the user or a macro issues the FLUSH macro command; or d) the FLUSHTIMER times out.

The FLUSHTIMER is initialized at 5 seconds. Thus, 5 seconds after receiving the last printout information (whether from window print or passthrough print), Anzio releases the document. The timer value can be changed through the File:Flush Timer menu. To disable the flushtimer feature, set it to zero. You might want to do this, or set it very high, if your passthrough print documents were getting broken up into multiple jobs.


Command Line Parameters

Command-line parameters to Anzio can be as follows:

Startup macro	Any one-character parameter

Host name	/h:host

Host name and port	/h:host:port

Settings-file name	Any parameter more than one character long, not starting with /.

Macro definition	/d:<key><string>

Have user choose
a settings file	/c

Serial connection	/Ts

TCP/IP connection	/Tt

PicLan connection	/Tp

Novell WLibSock
connection	/Tn


Working with Web Browsers

Most Web browsers, such as Netscape, can be configured to invoke Anzio when a telnet session is needed. In the appropriate place in the configuration screen, enter the following (change the path as appropriate):

   c:\anzio\anzioscr.exe /h:

The browser will add to the end of this the host name and telnet port.

Command Line Parameters


The Anzio Terminal Type

Many users can avoid the hassles of trying to synchronize keymaps, terminfos, etc. by telling the host system that the terminal type is ANZIO. This setup is VT220 plus color and a few other enhancements, with lots of function key and special key combinations mapped straight through. To support this, several files are included. Install as follows:

1. Move the file anzio.tic to your host system. This is a terminfo definition file.

2. If your host system is AIX, edit anzio.tic as it indicates.

3. As superuser (root), run the command:

tic anzio.tic

to compile the file and add it to your terminfo system of files.

4. Set Anzios terminal type to Anzio.

5. In Anzio, do File:Read Keys:Anziotic.kys.

6. Set your host systems TERM variable to anzio.

Some software on the host system may use its own terminal definitions. Anzio includes two definition files:

1. If you use Acucobol, copy anzio.cap to the host system, and append it to Acucobols A_TERMCAP file.

2. If you use Word Perfect for Unix, copy anzio.trs to the host system, and place it in WPs terminal definition directory. This combination gives you familiar key mappings, passthrough print support, and graphical print preview.

Background bitmap...

Using this menu item, you can open a bitmap to use as a background in your Anzio window. The bitmap can be muted out by adjusting its brightness and contrast, so that the work area is still usable for terminal emulation.

Bitmaps are not included with your Anzio software, but are available from a wide variety of sources. Start by looking in the Windows directory, as bitmaps are often used for Windows wallpaper.

For acceptable results, select a 256-color bitmap. Also, your video driver must be running in 256 colors.

Select the bitmap of your choice. To adjust brightness and contrast, click or drag the second (usually the right) mouse button to different areas of Anzios window. The vertical axis controls the brightness and the horizontal axis controls the contrast.

Print Wizard

Turning Print Wizard on can greatly simplify your printing, by telling Anzio to determine character size and low-level settings automatically, based on the data to be printed.

Print Wizard affects only passthrough print and the PRINTFILE command.

It works like this: you choose the page size and orientation in Printer Setup. You also choose the font in Printer Font, but the size chosen there is ignored, as youll see below. The Print Wizard will buffer up several hundred lines of data to be printed, and then analyze it. If it finds escape codes, or a PostScript initiation sequence, Print Wizard will print it using the Low-level Print technique. Otherwise, Print Wizard will inspect it to determine maximum line length, and maximum page length (if page feeds are included). Using this information, and the size of the printable page, it will choose a character size and margins appropriately.

The result is that whether the data stream is an 80-column report, a 132-column report, a PostScript document, or contains codes for a specific printer, it should print correctly, especially on a laser printer.

Print Wizard is not included in the Lite product.

Printing


Low-level Print

Tells Anzio to pass the stream of data to be printed directly to the printer at a low level. In this case the indicated font and size will have no effect.

Low-level print is appropriate if the data stream coming from the host in pass-through print contains control codes for this specific printer type.

Flush Timer...

Anzio needs to know when it should flush (dump) its print data and close the print job. This menu item allows you to set a value, in seconds. If Anzio has printed something, and this number of seconds elapses without receiving any more data to print, Anzio will flush the data and close the print job.

This value starts at 5, which should generally be sufficient. If you are doing passthrough print, and your print jobs are being broken into multiple jobs, increase this value.

To disable this behavior entirely, set this value to zero. Then you will need to manually flush the job, such as by doing a File:Eject.

Colors...

This item has three submenu items. Normal sets Anzios standard color table. Reverse sets up a green-on-black table. Custom takes you to the Colors screen, where you can set Anzios color translation table explicitly.

When Anzio is emulating a monochrome terminal, the host may send out video attributes such as reverse, underline, and blink. Anzio translates these attribute combinations into color combinations, according to the color table.

If the host sends out explicit color-setting escape sequences, according to the ANSI standard, Anzio will react properly if it is emulating a VT220 or related terminal (SCO ANSI, AT386, ANZIO). This aspect of color handling requires no setup.

Changing the color table does not affect characters already on the screen - it affects only characters arriving after the change is made.

Screen Font…

This item lets you choose a font to use for the screen. Only fixed-space fonts are shown.

TrueType fonts offer more flexibility in sizing, and tend to look better on high-resolution screens. Bitmap fonts may look better at smaller sizes.

In most cases you will want an OEM font, such as Terminal or MS Linedraw. OEM fonts give you the special line-drawing characters used in many terminal environments. However, they lack certain special characters. If you choose a non-OEM font, the line drawings will be made with +, -, and |.

You can choose fonts in other character sets, such as Cyrillic or Greek, if they have been installed on your system.

Font Size

These various menu items allow you to choose the font size Anzio will use for the screen. They show the sizes available in the screen font selected in the View:Screen Font dialog. The easiest way to choose a font is to cycle through the available choices using alt-L for larger fonts and alt-S for smaller fonts.

When you change the font size, Anzio adjusts the window size accordingly.

Communicate Menu


Terminal Type

Tells Anzio what kind of terminal to emulate. Note that changing this item does not change the key mappings for function keys, etc., because you may have some set up specially. So you may want to do a Read Keys operation after changing terminal types.

Following is a brief description of each terminal type:

N7900	An obsolete NCR terminal with no function keys and awkward attributes.

VIEWPOINT	The ADDS Viewpoint, plus enhancements made by Wyse and others. Supports only one attribute on-screen at a time.

WYSE50	The Wyse 50 has fewer features than the Wyse 60, and handles attributes differently.

WYSE60	The Wyse 60 has good monochrome attribute support.

VT220	The industry standard. Good attribute support. Anzios VT220 support also supports color. Uses ISO character set.

ANZIO	A superset of the VT220, with some features added for speed. Uses ISO character set.

SCOANSI	Emulates the console of SCO Unix. Basically VT220 plus color, plus some quirks.

AT386	Emulates the console of ATT Unix V.4. VT220 plus color, with slight color differences from SCOANSI and ANZIO.

C332	For Versyss systems.

Character Set

Tells Anzio what character set is represented by the characters on the host system.

International refers to an 8-bit set, either IBM extended ASCII or ISO 8859-1, depending on the terminal type.

Other settings are collectively called National Replacement Character sets, or NRCs, and are identified by country. NRCs are 7-bit sets, where various special characters in the ASCII set are replaced with special characters required in the named country. Following is the table of translations:

Hex code	23	40	5B	5C	5D	5E	5F	60	7B	7C	7D	7E

ASCII	#	@	[	\	]	^	_	`	{	|	}	~

UK	£	@	[	\	]	^	_	`	{	|	}	~

Finnish	#	@	Ä	Ö	Å	Ü	_	é	ä	ö	å	ü

French	£	à	°	ç	§	^	_	`	é	ù	è	¨

Canadian	#	à	â	ç	ê	î	_	ô	é	ù	è	û

German	#	§	Ä	Ö	Ü	^	_	`	ä	ö	ü	ß

Italian	£	§	°	ç	é	^	_	ù	à	ò	è	ì

TERM Name...

In environments where the host system can request a terminal type (i.e., a telnet session), this item allows you to set the exact response.

If this item is blank, Anzio will respond with the terminal name as in the Terminal Type menu item.

See Also

Communicate Menu


Environment...

With some host systems, connected through a telnet session, Anzio can send environment variables. This menu item prompts for the variables you wish to send.

Enter one entry, or more than one separated by semicolons. Entries are of the form NAME=VALUE.  VALUE is optional.  VALUE can also include a reference to a DOS environment variable, such as ${LOGNAME}, or a special entry ${ANZ_IP} which will be replaced by Anzios IP address.

Changes made will not take effect until the next login to the host.

Communicate Menu


Answerback...

Prompts for an answerback string, which is sent to the host in response to certain control codes.

See Also

Communicate Menu


Setup...

Brings up the CrowComm setup dialog box.

See Also

Communicate Menu


Host name...

Specifies which TCP/IP host you want to connect to.  Entering a new value causes Anzio to drop the current connection and initiate a new one.

The host entry can be either an IP address, of the form nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn, or a host name, assuming your TCP/IP setup has the means of translating the host name to an address.

You can specify a different TCP/IP port number by attaching it to the end of either the IP address or the host name, following a colon. That is:

    hostname:port

For PicLan, you can specify a list of port numbers to try in sequence, such as:

   pichost:51:52:53:54

Communicate Menu


Reconnect

This item governs how Anzio will behave if the host end of a TCP/IP connection terminates.

If Reconnect is ON, Anzio will immediately attempt to reconnect, usually resulting in a new login prompt.

If OFF, Anzio will quit.

Communicate Menu


Auto connect on startup

On startup, if this item is ON, ANZIO will immediately issue a connection request to the host name saved from the last session.

If OFF, Anzio will always ask you for the host name.

SOCKS Server

SOCKS is a kind of firewall system. That is, when you want to telnet from inside a corporate network out to the Internet, you may need to go through another computer (a firewall system) that is running the SOCKS protocol.

If so, use this menu item to specify the SOCKS firewalls name or IP address. You can optionally append a port number after a colon (the default port number is 1080).
