We're running openserver 5, and I would like to plunk down an emu on a

available for a few weeks at least. Can anyone tell me where I can
find a copy of Termlite to download? Pretty please?

Thanks bajillions!

Posted for anyone googling for this answer:

Termlite can be found either 1, from a Windows client on a system where
VisionFS is installed, in the visionfs visiontools share under the
TermLite directory or 2, as a standalone installer on the Optional
Service SCO UNIX install disc. Also, from Steve Fabac: "The original
VisionFS with 5.0.2 had problems with the Termlite installation:
you needed to manually copy "termlite.no" from the installation source
directory to the Termlite installation directory (target directory) on
Windows or Termlite would not work. The Termlite installation directory
in vfsos5.tar did not have that problem and installed cleanly."

I never got around to trying this, as I used putty instead - a good
free alternative if all you want is basic text functions. To configure
it to work with SCO ANSI and to display graphics characters correctly:

1, Download putty.exe from whereever you can find it; I got it from
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html.
2, Crank it up and enter the appropriate Session information (since
we're on a LAN, I used a telnet protocol rather than SSH).
3, Go to the Terminal->Keyboard section and set the radio button in
"Change the sequences sent by:" entry "The Function keys and keypad" to
"SCO"
4, Go to Window->Appearance and change "Font Settings" to Lucinda
Console (or some other monospaced font).
5, Go to Window->Translation and change "Character set translation on
received data" to "CP437" and "Handling of line drawing characters:" to
"Use Unicode line drawing code points"

I think that about covers it. Apparently you should be able to copy
the registry settings at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\Sessions from computer to
computer, but I haven't tried it yet.

To create a shortcut that will load a saved session on startup, append
"-load sessionname" to the putty shortcut. (eg) "C:\Program
Files\putty.exe" -load mysession

Thanks to everybody who contributed, and please correct me if I'm wrong
on or omitted some point!
