Hi,
I am running VMS/VAX on SIMH but I dont have EVE installed. How can I get EVE installed as my editor?
Or..VI??
I did this command:
$ edit/tpu
%TPU-E-NONANSICRT, SYS$INPUT must be supported CRT
Thx. |

EVE is a screen-oriented editor. As such, it must be able to control the screen, which it only can do for VT200-class terminals and up (or emulations of these).
I'd guess a $ SHOW TERMINAL shows the device type as VT100 or UNKNOWN. That's what EVE is complaining about.
Use a decent VT200 emulation, e.g. PuTTY, and EVE will work.
HTH,
Martin

I'm asking here, because I don't have SIMH set up.
If someone is running SIMH, when they log on to the "system", are they connected to the "console port"? Does SIMH allow them to log in via TELNET or SSH through some kind of "virtual terminal" mechanism? Or are they restricted to booting the system, and then accessing it from another system on the same network, via TELNET or SSH? |

SIMH's console port is either the same DOS box it's started in (bad - no terminal emulation), or a Telnet port you can connect to using a terminal emulation (recommended).

Thanks - one of the reasons I was asking was that it seemed to me that the OP in this thread might have been trying to user the "console port" rather than the "telnet port" to do his editing. If this was the case, then he could solve his problem by using the "telnet port" and decent terminal emulation. |

I have to make a few corrections to my previous post:
EVE is a screen-oriented editor. As such, it must be able to control the screen, which it only can do for VT200-class terminals and up (or emulations of these).
In fact, EVE works with VT100 and up.
I'd guess a $ SHOW TERMINAL shows the device type as VT100 or UNKNOWN. That's what EVE is complaining about.
Use a decent VT200 emulation, e.g. PuTTY, and EVE will work.
PuTTY does VT102 emulation - but that'll suffice. VMS must know about the terminal type, though: a $ SET TERMINAL /INQUIRE will let VMS ask the terminal.
cu,
Martin

Oops, that's right, y'all are still using Microsoft Windows here. The local environment has full emulation at the shell. My bad.
I'm not sure what the OP is using, but I've found it's much easier and nicer to use PuTTY on my Linux laptop, rather than Xterm (or whatever comes standard with XWindows).
I'm not sure if you remember the flurry of posts on EISNER:: shortly after the recent OS upgrade; there were a number of users who had problems using XTerm on various flavors of MacOS X.
The point being that some terminal emulation software is good enough to be used, almost regardless of platform. |

Ok, is there any way I can install EVE even with SIMH??
Is this impossible to do under SIMH?
Any ideas..??
Thx. |

Just try this (dont know if it works, but it won't break anything):
$ SET TERM/DEC_CRT [=2[,3[,4]]]
and perhaps other settings. see $ HELP SET TERM for details (uopy can do so on a non-VT terminal (like the console).
If set, EVE may be happy  |

You may enter a list of DEC_CRT characteristic sets (should be put in parenthesis).
It could be easier to just $ SET TERMINAL /INQUIRE
and then look in $ SHOW TERMINAL
whether it set the terminal device type to VT-something.
Or you could just set it using $ SET TERMINAL /DEVICE=VT100
and test whether this works out for your terminal emulation.

And Im almost there, but still seems disorganized as below.
