Hi Phil, I was in the BSSU (Business Systems Support Unit) North East during the 80's based in Middlesbrough ATE, I took release 92 just before a lot of the support units were gradually would down.

Ah I missed the best release deals Ray, I hung on until 2007, I've probably been to Middlesborough ATE at some stage installing MAC gear :)
My eldest lad is also a BT lifer, says its nothing like it used to be. High pressure, no support, no respect, no fun & constant threat of redundancy
I think we had the best times there!
Cheers

I tried <ESC>[2J to clear the screen. No results.

I worked for around 30 years as a system programmer on RSX11 and VMS. I pretty much exclusively worked in MACRO-11 and MACRO-32 the whole time (although toward the end of my career I wtote a lot of Perl for assorted system reporting and management utilities). I really enjoyed MACRO-11 the most, so I write programs in it for fun now.

Wow, a career in Macro programming! I had a class on Macro-11 in college. I really liked it but it was over before we really got started on anything cool. And then everyone switched to VAXes and 68000.
I would like to attempt some graphics programming on the Pro. The graphics subsystem was pretty sophisticated for that time but it was never appreciated.

I''ve been surprised reading about the Pro's video capability lately. It apparenrlty can do a lot that wasn't documented at the time.
Hey Lee,

Does the Pro 350 respond to escape codes for terminal control? I'm printing escape codes but not getting a response.

It does if you're using a terminal emulator, like Kermit for instance....hmmm, since running RMD clears the screen and positions the cursor. it must be able to from the command line. I don't hvea a PRO assembled right at the moment, can't test it. What are you using to send escape sequences?
Got your note about Pro3xx boot images. My box isn't setup at the moment so I cannot verify anything, but let me take a look and see if I can find the USB stick from the Gotek. Will take a look in the next day or two.
