Introduction to GIST Terminals

C-DAC  GIST Terminals are compatible to the DEC VT52/100/220/320 and  ANSI  terminals, and communicate with the host through the RS232 connector. GIST Terminals allow the use of  any  Indian  script,  along with English, on all the application packages  like  Lyrix,  FoxBase, WordPerfect,  and  RDBMS packages like Oracle, Ingres, Sybase etc.  available  on  multiuser  environments  like  UNIX,  XENIX, VMS etc.

C-DAC GIST Terminal consists of the Terminal box and Monitor as an integrated unit  and a 101-key Keyboard with INSCRIPT Keyboard overlay stickers. It comes  with  the  latest Firmware version 8.03 which is unique to C-DAC GIST Terminal.

C-DAC GIST Terminal finds its use in multiuser environments like UNIX, XENIX, VMS etc. where the data is centralised and can be accessed from the terminals connected to the Host. Some of the broad application areas of C-DAC GIST Terminal are :

*   Processing, sharing and printing of large volumes of  multilingual  data in multiuser  environments,  especially  useful  for sectors like  Banking,  Insurance, Finance,   Agriculture,  Human  Resources, etc. 

*   Development of customised multilingual  database application  software on RDBMS like Oracle, Sybase,  Ingres etc.  

*   Multilingual word-processing with 'ALP For UNIX' (available separately), Lyrix etc.  

*   Multilingual communication on networks (e.g. sending and receiving e-mail in Indian languages etc.).
