VICTERM I AND TERM 64
Introduction
There are two sides to the cassette tape — one side is for use
with the VIC-20 (VICTERM I) and the other side is for use with
the Commodore 64 (TERM 64). This software gives your com­
puter the ability to act as a "terminal". When you connect
your microcomputer to a modem and a telephone you
become an active participant in the Information Age. To ease
your entry into this era Commodore has designed the
VICTERM I and TERM 64 so that you can enjoy your new VIC-
MODEM within a matter of minutes. We have made every ef­
fort to make this manual and software as uncomplicated as
possible. It's what we call "user friendly". The capabilities of
VICTERM I and TERM 64 can be best understood if you read
the entire manual before attempting to use this software.
To simplify writing and reading of this manual, all instruc­
tions will be stated forVICTERM I. Unless qualified, these in­
structions will also work for the TERM 64."
VICTERM I FEATURES —
WHAT THE PROGRAM CAN DO
VICTERM I, has many impressive features. They include:
* "User Friendly" — menu operation where you can "order"
such delectables as baud rate, parity, and stop bits to match
almost any system! More about these terms later.
*Format end of line — use to stop wraparound. Wraparound
occurs when a word is too large to fit at the end of a line, and
the remainder of the word is continued on the next line. Even
a little wraparound makes the text difficult to read. Therefore
we designed the " Format end of line" to eliminate wrap­
around and create easier to read text!
*2 color option — aids in reading the computer dialogue by
making your text a different color than the host computer's
text. This makes the dialogue easier to read.
