SUPDUP is the WAITS implementation of the ITS SUPDUP program, which is used for
Telnetting to ITS sites or other hosts that implement this protocol.
For details on using SUPDUP, see the printed Monitor Command Manual, which
is online as MONCOM.BH[S,DOC], with updates in MONCOM.UPD[S,DOC].
Below are some details omitted from the Monitor Command Manual.
Everything nobody wanted to know about SUPDUP's internal mappings:
The following character set mappings are in effect. These mappings
occur on both input and output, so in general they are invisible to the
user. In particular, the graphic on the keytop is what ITS will see, and
what is displayed on the screen is what would be displayed on an ITS TV.
But see the second table and notes for exceptions.
SAIL ITS
---- ---
013 VT ↑ (6)
030 _ ←
032 ~ ≠
033 ≠ ALT
136 ↑ ∧ (2)
137 ← _
175 ALT }
176 } ~
177 BS INT (1) (6)
In addition, the following keyboard mappings are done:
KBD code Sent to ITS
--- ---- ---- -- ---
αz [CALL] (3)
αZ [CALL]
αβz α[CALL]
αβZ α[CALL]
α_ [BACK NEXT] (4)
↑ ∧ (2) (5)
Notes:
(1) This character is image rubout, which on a PDP-11 TV is output as
integral sign.
(2) AND sign (∧) is used for caret since there is no code in the SAIL
character set for caret anyway.
(3) These four mappings are necessary since there is no way that any form
of [CALL] can be read by a user program.
(4) This mapping is necessary since there is no key remotely equivalent to
the [BACK NEXT] key.
(5) This mapping is necessary since otherwise there is no way to enter
caret from the keyboard. As caret is more important on ITS, up arrow
lost. VT will input an up-arrow, however it will not be [TOP]ified,
meaning that in order to enter this character into TECO one must use a
quoting convention or up-arrow as a command; see previous page for
details.
(6) Output only mapping.
