Reflection 1 and Reflection 1 Plus were designed by Hewlett-Packard 3000 experts to turn the IBMPC, XT, AT, or PS/2 into a fully functional HP 3000 workstation by emulating the HP 2392, 2622A, or 2624B (which activates advanced forms processing). They also emulate the DEC VT102 terminal. Both Reflection packages support speeds to 38.4K bps via direct connect. Screen features similar to those of the HP 262x as well as complete block-mode capability for V-3000 are supported. 132- column display is available through horizontal scrolling. Both Reflection packages include a proprietary built-in application programming interface (API), allowing programmers to extend the terminal emulation capabilities of the package by writing DOS applications to existing host programs. Manual terminal emulation commands, such as typing on a PC keyboard, or issuing host commands, can be simulated through API commands. In addition, both packages support Codepage 863, and print to disk capabilities. Reflection supports a type-ahead key buffer so
you do not have to wait for your HP 3000 print spoolings. It includes a complete system for transferring files between the PC and the HP 3000, VAX under VMS, and most UNIX and HPUX systems. Hostresident error checking programs are included as is support for XMODEM, with cyclic redundancy check (CRC), and KERMIT protocols. Reflection 1 Plus included all functions of Reflection 1, and added a function which lets you back up and restore PC files to a file on a VAX running VMS or UNIX. The host file transfer program maintained an internal structure in the backup file to keep track of all the PC files it contains. If something disastrous occurs and you needed to restore one or more files, you could tell Reflection 1 Plus to restore files in all subdirectories as well as the files in the specified directory. By using the command language program to invoke the backup procedure ensures timely, accurate, and automated file backups. Reflection 1 Plus supports LANS such as DEC's LAT, Novell, 3Com, Ungermann-Bass, and LANs that use interrupt 14. Both programs
support multitasking or background mode operation, so you can run DOS applications in the foreground, and hotkey back to your host session. Research Reflection 1
Reflection 2 is a software program designed to turn an IBMPC, XT, AT, or PS/2 into the functional equivalent of DEC's VT52, 102, 220, and 320 terminals. The program shares some benefits offered by other Reflection products, such as background multitasking, and on-screen 132-column display (with supported adapters).
Reflection 2 Plus includes all functions of Reflection 2, and adds a function which lets you back up and restore PC files to a file on a VAX running VMS or UNIX. The host file transfer program maintains an internal structure in the backup file to keep track of all the PC files it contains. If something disastrous occurs and you need to restore one or more files you can tell Reflection 2 Plus to restore files in all subdirectories as well as the files in the specified directory. By using the command language program to invoke the backup procedure; timely, accurate, and automated backups of files can be ensured. Reflection 2 Plus supports LANs, such as DEC's LAT, Novell, 3Com, IBM's PC Network, Ungermann-Bass, and LANs that use interrupt 14. Both Reflection packages include a proprietary built-in application programming interface (API), allowing programmers to extend the terminal emulation capabilities of the package by writing DOS applications to existing host programs. Manual terminal emulation commands, such as typing on a PC keyboard,
or issuing host commands, can be simulated through API commands. In addition, both packages support Codepage 863, DEC SIXEL graphics, and print to disk capabilities. Research Reflection 2
Reflection 7 is a terminal emulation program for the IBMPC, XT, AT, or PS/2 that enables them to become the functional equivalents of the Hewlett-Packard 2623A monochrome graphics terminal or the HP 2627A colour graphics terminal, as well as providing Tektronix 4010 and DEC VT102 emulations. HP 2627A colour graphics emulation can display graphs in up to eight colours and requires an EGA or VGA display adapter with 256K of video RAM and an EGA or VGA colour display. The HP 2623A monochrome graphics emulation runs with most standard graphics adapters. Colour graphics emulation features include the ability to create graphics text in eight sizes, either upright or slanted. Text can be displayed in any of four directions, and can be left, right, or centre justified. Plotters can be attached through a serial port to support either eavesdrop or pass-through mode.
Reflection 7 supports all the features of Reflection 1. Reflection 7 Plus supports LANs such as DEC' s LAT, Novell, 3Com, Ungermann-Bass, and LANs that support interrupt 14.
Reflection 7 Plus adds a function which lets you back up and restore PC files to a file on a VAX running VMS or UNIX. Both Reflection packages include a proprietary built-in application programming interface (API), allowing programmers to extend the terminal emulation capabilities of the package by writing DOS applications to existing host programs. Manual terminal emulation commands, such as typing on a PC keyboard, or issuing host commands, can be simulated through API commands.
