Is it possible to setup a device link to pipe thru lpr using the pdf function in Pvxplus?

Instead of changing some internal programming I was wondering if I could just setup a printer that would go to a pdf file.

Hope this makes sense.


Thank you

Kurt

Are you wanting to use WindX or another terminal emulator?

For WindX we generally suggest setting TERM to "winterm" -- however native Linux applications will generally need this set to "ansi"

I have used other terminal emulators, which works fine because I can set the terminal to ansi, or scoansi.  The problem is I can't print using the windows printers, only what is attached to the cantos box.

I want to use windx via ssh, but when the program runs, the keyboard and term are all off. I don't know where to set the TERM value; that's where I need help.

Thanks in advance.

I got it figured out.

I set the TERM value to ansi in the .profile file.

Depending if you log in or ssh in, certain profile files are used or not used.

Hello Bill,

What exactly is the project and the requirements.

I've been working with pvxplus since 1990, Unix and Linux.

Please contact me via the forum message system, then via email.




Sincerely,

Hi,

We are running an accounting system similar to the old mas90 character program.  I need to be able to access the sessions over tcp/ip via ssh in windows using ansi or xterm as the terminal.

I can't figure out how to set the terminal values so the display and keyboard is correct.

Thanks.

Has anyone coded routines to allow for 2 factor authentication to login to a pvxplus program?

If so, is that code available?


Thanks

Kurt

I still have and used the original spiral bound docs from pvx 4

Looks good.

Will take some use to.

Thank you for the continued support here.

Too bad there isn't a fast way to import all the old email chains into threads here for archive sakes.
