Key and Bit pairing problem

I just got the following note, which may be of interest to all on this
net:

       Date-Sent: Thu Apr  8 08:35:36 1982
       To: unc!duke!harpo!eagle!mhtsa!ihnss!ihuxi!otto
       Subject: pairings
       Status: R

       We've got the one that came with 4.1bsd, and it only seems to know one,
       the wrong for my terminal. (It has an )APL command, but it doesn't take
       arguments or ask which I really want.)  Do you know where I can find a
       better or a way to teach this one the difference?

I believe that this APL is the one from Purdue mentioned in my previous note.
I am sending the people there all my information about Bit and Key pairing
translation tables for ASCII terminals.  I hope they can incorporate
this information into their code so that future releases will allow use
by both types of ASCII terminals.  Until I get the code running on our
new VAX, I can't say anything more specific about how to get around the
problem.  Perhaps a call to Tony Reeves at Purdue University EE Dept.
(317) 494-3646 would allow a quick fix (after he has sorted out the best
way to deal with the problem, that is).
