4.1    Terminals

The Tru64 UNIX operating system software supports the VT382-T Thai terminal. Thai DECterm is the emulation of the VT382-T Thai terminal, which provides compatible functionalities for running Thai character-cell terminal applications. For the details of Thai DECterm, see Chapter 9, Other Thai Features.

Character-cell terminal applications can process the Thai locale properly through Tru64 UNIX run-time libraries, such as the C library and the curses library, with the information defined in the terminfo and termcap databases. To set up the environment to process in the Thai locale, you should set the TERM environment variable to vt382t by entering the following command:

% setenv TERM vt382t

4.2    Printers

The Tru64 UNIX operating system software supports the following dot matrix Thai printer:

• Epson LQ1050+

The following PostScript printers can be configured for Thai printing:

• DEClaser 1152
• DEClaser 5100 with font disk (LN09X-HD)
• PrintServer 17

The generic wwpsof filter can be used to print Thai characters on any PostScript printer.

The print filters in Table 4-1 are provided to support Thai printers.

To use PrintServer 17, the PrintServer V5.0 or later Software for Tru64 UNIX, is also required.
