TipTop is an easy to use Telecommunications and Terminal
Emulation Program with an array of NEXTSTEP interface features.
Novice users will find the interface object oriented and
intuitive, while advanced users will enjoy the flexibility and
robustness of Tip Top's multi-session capability and the power of
our Objective-Tcl scripting language
Terminal Emulation: ANSI, VT102, and VT220, all
including ANSI color support. Serial Ports/Shells: Multiple serial (modem) port
connections and shell sessions. The UUCP locking protocol is used
for serial ports. Scripting: A powerful script programming language based
on Tcl, Expect, and Objective C! The automatic script generator
makes it easy to create basic scripts. Among other things, the scripting language can run ``term''
which is used to establish a SLIP-like connection to a remote
site. This allows several simultaneous terminal sessions to be
connected to a remote site, while files are transferred and
remote commands executed. One can even run remote X-window
clients connected to the local X-server. File Transfer: Bundled transfer protocols include X-,
Y-, and ZMODEM. Any external transfer protocol can be used with
TipTop. In addition, transfer Application Programmers Interface
(API) is included and allows external transfer protocols to be
fully integrated graphically with TipTop. Key Bindings: Flexible keyboard mapping. Any key (with
or without combinations of the Ctrl, Alt, and Shift modifiers)
can be redefined as any character, string of characters, script,
or even as an Objective C message! Easy to use GUI: Standard NEXTSTEP user interface
features. The terminal window features a toolbar, a scrollback
buffer, a find panel, changeable fonts, etc. Built-in PhoneBook
and Inspector facilitate easy and convenient configuration of the
communication parameters, window appearance, and other settings. Require NEXTSTEP 3.1 or higher. Now shipping in Motorola and Intel versions.
