Version : 20140305
Release : 1.el6

Summary : Test the compatibility of so-called "VT100-compatible" terminals
Description :
vttest is a program to test the compatibility (or to demonstrate the
non-compatibility) of so-called "VT100-compatible" terminals.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
20140305
* save/restore color enable-flag for menu 11.6 in a couple of places so that the ISO-6429
tests do not reset it unexpectedly.
* amend the REP test to not reset colors if it happens to be run via the menu entry for
BCE-related tests.
20140116
* cosmetic changes (suggested by Itay Chamiel):
* clear screen just before resetting SCS in menu #3 character sets, in case a VT100
emulator does not simply ignore VT220 G2/G3 selections when it does not implement
them.
* add check for maximum operating level before deciding whether to send a DECSCL to set
it to VT100-level.
* adjust starting point of items for menu #9 "Test of known bugs" to avoid
overwriting part of the description of the test.
* add configure check for -Wlogical-op to gcc-warnings
* update config.guess, config.sub
20130915
* when NRCS is active, suppress ISO Latin-1 from menu to avoid confusion with British
NRCS.
* do not highlight ISO Latin-1 for NRCS, since it is a 96-character set, not applicable to
NRCS.
* correct position of ruler for SD and REP screens, which obscured the result.
* expand menu 11.6.6 to demonstrate bce with top-level menus 1 and 2 in addition to the
existing menu 8.
* correct description for DA response 24; it denotes VT320.
* correct highlighting for French NRC mapping; "`" is not mapped.
* add port-files from FreeBSD for test-builds.
* add highlighting information for VT320 Portuguese NRC mapping.
* add highlighting information for VT220 DEC Supplemental NRC mapping.
* updated configure-macros to add msys changes from ncurses 20130907.
* update config.guess, config.sub
20130818
* modify character-sets screens to optionally highlight the characters which do not
correspond to ISO-8859-1. This makes the National Replacement Characters easier to see.
* modify DSR cursor-position report to check if the terminal accounts for origin-mode.
* support --datarootdir option in makefile.in, to match configure script updates.
* updated configure macros:
* change from byacc for autoheader
* improved checks for gcc attributes
* improved checks for gcc version
* miscellaneous fixes in CF_XOPEN_SOURCE
* update config.guess, config.sub
20120603
* change cursor-position before IL/DL in "Test of VT102-style features with BCE
(Insert/Delete Char/Line)" to demonstrate whether the terminal sets the cursor to the
first column as a side-effect, as noted in VT220 reference manual.
20120506
* build-fix in case compiler does not recognize gcc's __attribute__.
* modify vt420 rectangle menu to allow testing with applications which misreport their
operating level, e.g., Reflection which states that it is a vt340. The menu title shows
"should not work" if the terminal says its operating level is below VT4xx.
* add menu-entries for DECOM/DECLRMM to vt420 rectangle menu.
* add menu-entries for DECOM/DECLRMM to vt420 cursor-movement menu.
* add menu-entries for DECOM/DECLRMM to vt420 editing-controls menu.
* add HPR and VPR test-screens.
* add vt520 cursor-movement menu; most of the vt520's new features were based on
ISO-6429 but allow for DECOM and DECLRMM interactions.
* implement DECSCPP and DECSLPP test-screens.
* add test-screen for DECNCSM.
* add "-s" command-line option to initialize the time-delay feature.
* add setup-menu feature to control whether a time delay is added in selected repeated
cursor-movement and scrolling operations to make their behavior easier to see.
* correct scanning of DECCKSR response; result is hexadecimal not decimal.
* modify menu functions to provide for multipage menus, e.g., in the character set choices
for vt420 and vt520 on a 24-line screen.
* modify tests related to left/right margins to allow color to be set, as xterm-feature.
* add test-screen for index/reverse index with left/right margins.
* ensure that status-line is turned off when exiting status-line test.
* add test-screen for VT420 & up for ASCII formatting controls with margins.
* modify DECFI/DECBI tests to work with margins.
* add menu entries for setting/showing the top/bottom and left/right margins, to modify
the behavior of the DECIC/DECDC tests.
* add menu entries for setting/showing DECLRMM state, needed for DECIC/DECDC tests.
* change mnemomic DECVSSM to DECLRMM to reflect the latter's usage in vt420 and vt510
manuals.
* modify DECRQSS test for DECSCUSR to show if the response is as expected.
20111210
* modify mouse menu's selection of coordinate mode to include xterm's 1006 and
urxvt's 1015 controls.
* add menu entry to allow miscellaneous ECMA-48 such as SD/SU to be tested with colors.
20110705
* fill in DEC mnemonics on some menus.
20110516
* fix inchar() function to work properly with big-endian machines (patch by David
Kutalek).
20110506
* add some VT520-level menus, e.g., for DSR, DECRQSS.
* add VT220 test for DSR Operating Status Report.
