New greatly improved install.

[Bro Cope]

Over the last couple of months, stuffed in between working to pay the
bills, I have been addressing a number of issues dealing with how the
mvToolbox installs. I've been working with Tony G, Eugene P, and
Leroy D and we think it is running smoothly -- finally.

In any case, if any of you would like to take another shot at
installing the mvToolbox, let me know, and I will generate you a new
most recent version for you.

As before, it is a full license for free.

If you have requested a copy before and would like an updated copy,
just send me your name and address info, and I will put your install
package up on the mvToolbox website for download.

I have been working Bro on this and I can say that the install
procedure is now very easy and clean.

I actually didn't mind the install before, but "better" is
usually, uh, better.

Bro, I welcome another opportunity to check out mvToolbox for D3
and perhaps others later.

Did you ever get the mvToolbox keyboard definition to agree with
D3 and the AccuTerm mapping I provided? (Keymap for both D3 and
QM are available at PickWiki.com)

Best,

I've created you a new install.  It is at....

 

I am sorry to say that I was not able to solve the technical problems that arose when I tried to accomodate the Accuterm key settings.  The problem was that that key mapping had multiple duplicate settings, and it made mapping in reverse impossible (codes --> keynames).  I have to have a 1-1 set. 

 

I tried over and over to sort out the conflicts, and every time I did, Eugene's install became unusable.  (He is my beta tester).  After many attempts, covering several months, we punted back to one that we knew was working.  One problem was that as a result of trying to merge them together, I wound up with several dozen copies and massive confusion. I finally had to pick one I knew worked, and delete all the rest.

 

I may have mentioned this before.  I remember having similar problems when I first wrote the keyboard interpreter for Accuterm.  Of all the telnets I have integrated with, Accuterm was the most difficult for some reason.  I don't know why.

 

I would be willing to work with you to try to overcome the problems again, but I am hesitant to make it the standard keyboard def just yet.  Ask Eugene, we suffered greatly when I tried to meld the two keyboards together into a new standard.  It was a headache for months.  Eugene would email me almost every day becasue his keys didn't work. 

 

Of course, I am willing to try again, but this time I will attack it differently.  Instead of trying to remap everything at once, I think it is possible to do this on a key by key basis.  After you have installed, we can  pick a couple of keys you need to work, and we will modify for them.  Then we do a couple more.
