# Sector 611, program filename = 'README' 0010 REM 2200/VS LOCAL COMMUNICATIONS OPTION 0020 REM 0030 REM READ ME FILE FOR REVISION 1.00 0040 REM 0050 REM RESTRICTIONS - 0060 REM 0070 REM The following restrictions apply to Customer Release 1.00 - 0080 REM 0090 REM 1. Under terminal emulation, the user must not invoke any VS Task 0100 REM which will cause code to be downloaded to the terminal (2258) 0110 REM such as Word Processing. 0120 REM 0130 REM 2. The VS Terminal Keyboard emulation utilizes 2200 Function 0140 REM keys - 21 - as cursor up 0150 REM 22 - as cursor down 0160 REM 28 - as cursor right 0170 REM 29 - as cursor left 0180 REM 25 - as delete one character 0190 REM 26 - as insert one character 0200 REM 0210 REM This implementation may impact some users who must use PF keys 0220 REM 22, 23, 26, 27, 29, and 30. In this case, a modification to 0230 REM the keyboard translation tables found in module WSESTART is 0240 REM necessary. 0250 REM 0260 REM In cases where the keyboard is a DW style and offers cursor 0270 REM control keys the following changes to WSESTART can be made - 0280 REM 0290 REM Modify table entry T5$(3) by replacing the string 02 15 0300 REM with 06 15. 0310 REM Modify table entry T5$(4) by replacing the strings - 0320 REM 01 16 by 06 16 0330 REM 0A 19 by 06 19 0340 REM 0B 1A by 06 1A 0350 REM 04 1C by 06 1C 0360 REM 03 1D by 06 1D 0370 REM Modify table entry T1$(2) by replacing the strings - 0380 REM 28 29 by F9 F8 0390 REM D2 E2 by F5 F4 0400 REM 2E 2D by F2 F1 0410 REM 0420 REM 3. When using the VS Access Subroutines, the user must be careful 0430 REM not to specify a non-zero timeout value unless the file being 0440 REM worked on has been opened in 'shared' mode. 0450 REM 0460 REM KNOWN ANOMALIES - 0470 REM The following known anomalies apply to Customer Release 1.00 - 0480 REM 0490 REM 1. Record Locking currently does not function as one might expect. 0500 REM The reason for this is that VS DMS associates file commands with 0510 REM TASK IDs. However, since all the users on one 2200 get access 0520 REM to DMS functions through the same 2200SRV (same VS Task), DMS 0530 REM treats them all alike. Since a locked record is released by 0540 REM the next command from that task, a second user on the same 0550 REM 2200 can cause a record locked by another user to be prematurely 0555 REM released. 0557 REM 0560 REM At this time a number of approaches are being investigated to 0570 REM provide proper record locking. 0580 REM 0590 REM Although not an anomally, a word of caution. Since all users on 0600 REM the same 2200 are using the same 2200SRV Task. Each users has 0610 REM the same access privileges as the user who initiated the 2200SRV 0620 REM task. Multiple 2258 boards can be used to provide multiple 0630 REM access privileges for the same 2200. 0640 REM 0650 REM 2. Due to problems in locking, VDISKs cannot at this time be 0660 REM opened in 'Shared' mode. 0670 REM 0680 REM 3. 2200SRV currently supports only up to 31 VDISKs. An error is 0690 REM reported when an attempt is made to open a 32nd VDISK. 0700 REM 0710 REM 4. Terminal Emulation currently does not properly support 0720 REM protected numeric fields.
