Remarks

The Terminal Emulation library provides a comprehensive API for emulating an ANSI or DEC-VT220 terminal, with full support for all standard escape and control sequences, color mapping and other advanced features. The library methods provide both a high level interface for parsing escape sequences and updating a display, as well as lower level primitives for directly managing the virtual display, such as controlling the individual display cells, moving the cursor position and specifying display attributes.

This class can be used in conjunction with the Remote Command, Secure Shell or Telnet Protocol classes to provide terminal emulation services for an application, or it can be used independently. For example, this class could be used to provide emulation services for a program that connects to a device using an RS-232 serial port.

Requirements

The SocketTools Library Edition libraries are compatible with any programming language that supports calling functions exported from a standard dynamic link library (DLL). If you are using Visual C++ 6.0 it is required that you have Service Pack 6 (SP6) installed. It is recommended that you install all updates for your development tools and have the current Windows SDK installed.

This library is supported on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. If you are using Windows XP, it is required that you have Service Pack 3 (SP3) installed. It is recommended that all service packs and critical updates to the Windows operating system be installed.

This product includes both 32-bit and 64-bit libraries. Native 64-bit CPU support requires the latest 64-bit version of Windows XP Professional, Windows Server 2003 or later versions of the Windows operating system.

Distribution

When you distribute your application that uses this library, it is recommended that you install the file in the same folder as your application executable. If you install the library into a shared location on the system, it is important that you distribute the correct version for the target platform and it should be registered as a shared DLL. This is a standard Windows dynamic link library, not an ActiveX component, and does not require COM registration.
