SYNOPSIS

       vttest [options] [24x80.132]

DESCRIPTION

       Vttest  is a program designed to test the functionality of a VT100 ter-
       minal (or emulator thereof).  It tests both  display  (escape  sequence
       handling) and keyboard.

       The program is menu-driven and contains full on-line operating instruc-
       tions.  To run a given menu-item, you must enter its number.   You  can
       run  all  menu-items  (for a given level) by entering an asterisk, i.e,
       `*'.

OPTIONS

       You can specify the screen geometry in the form [24x80.132],  i.e.,  24
       lines,  80 minimum columns, 132 maximum columns.  If your terminal does
       not switch between 80 and 132 columns you  may  specify  24x80.80,  for
       example, to avoid a misleading display.

       Other options are:

       -f file
            specify  a  file  containing  a  DRCS  (soft character definition)
            string.

       -l   log test results to vttest.log.

       -p   use padding, e.g., for a VT100 connected to a high-speed line.

       -8   use 8-bit controls (this can be changed with a menu option).
