RPCVERSION Variable

RPCVERSION Variable

RPCVERSION contains information about the terminal emulator e.g. Reflection or Qcterm. If you are not using a terminal emulator, you can set RPCVERSION to 1. If you omit it or set it to 0, but you do set RCRTMODEL to 2, Qedit attempts to identify which (if any) version of the emulator you are using.

If you are using Reflection, the version number has a direct impact on Qedit's behavior in full-screen mode. Qcterm's version currently does not have any impact. If you always use the same version and emulator, set RPCVERSION to the value determined by this chart:

wXyyy, where
       w=0   for display width can be expanded
         1   for display width cannot be expanded
         2   for 132-column VGA in DOS Reflection
       X=0   for DOS Reflection
         1   for Macintosh Reflection
         2   for Windows Reflection
         5   for Qcterm
     yyy=version number (420 = 4.20)

For example, R1 for DOS version 4.30 with a 132-column VGA adaptor would be 20430.

You cannot do the :Reflect command if Xyyy equals 150 or 200. This same value is shown in Verify Visual as {Reflect=420}; if it says "Col=80 max", this PC emulator was unable to make display memory wider.
