QCTerm

What works

Install path selection:

choose c:\

Select Unzip.

Install does not perform regsvr32 of DLL files. Must be done manually. There are case sensitivity issues with the DLL's and OCX files.

I think I had to rename them all to upper case then regsvr32 them.

Copied fonts to c:\windows\fonts

Telnet works well. We need this for HP3000 connectivity.

Print screen prints outside the margin area of the printer.

What does not

Prints outside margins

Workarounds

What was not tested

Printing more than just the screen (history)

Hardware tested

Graphics:

• GPU:
• Driver:

Additional Comments

Installing QCTerm under Wine with it's own Wine directory

QCTerm is a useful program for HP 3000 users who require a terminal program which supports special graphics characters used by applications on the MPE operating system.

WINEPREFIX=~/.wineqcterm wineprefixcreate

WINEPREFIX=~/.wineqcterm winecfg

Since I use NFS to access the /home directory I go to the drives tab of winecfg , click on advanced and choose "Type" as network share. I also Manually Assign a name to the drive as DriveC.

I'll go with the default windows emulation of Windows 2000 for this installation.

WINEPREFIX=~/.wineqcterm wine /m/downloads/Terminal\ emulators/Aics_qcterm_free/qct32set_2-1.exe

Here I just hit "Enter" to unzip the files to C:\

This will result in an aics directory being created in c:\

Then click the Close button

cd ~/.wineqcterm/drive_c/aics

regsvr32 *ocx

regsvr32 *OCX

regsvr32 *DLL

lndir ~/.wineqcterm/drive_c/aics/Fonts ~/.wineqcterm/drive_c/windows/fonts

You will need to locate a copy of mfc40.dll   and move it into this directory:

   ~/.wineqcterm/drive_c/windows/system32/

Then run the command

regsvr32  ~/.wineqcterm/drive_c/windows/system32/mfc40.dll

Next create a launcher file such as

~/qcterm.sh

which contains these two lines:

#!/bin/bash

WINEPREFIX=~/.wineqcterm wine ~/.wineqcterm/drive_c/aics/qcterm.exe

Next make this launcher executable by running this command:

chmod u+x ~/qcterm.sh

Enjoy!
