Appendix D
Non-ASCII Characters 
for Login Scripts
The following information enables you to create custom login scripts 
that require non-ASCII characters. It is provided for advanced users 
who understand the use and requirements of such characters in a 
custom login script.
Use of ^char
You may use the caret ( ^ ) to transmit ASCII command characters. If 
you send ^char
, and the ASCII value of char
 is between @ and _, then 
the character is automatically translated to a single-byte value 
between 0 and 31. 
For example, ^M is converted to a carriage return. If char is a value 
between a and z, then the character sequence is translated to a single-
byte value between 1 and 26. If char is any other value, then the 
character sequence is not subject to any special processing.
For example, the string “Joe^M” transmits Joe, followed by a carriage 
return.
Carriage return and line feed
You may include carriage return and line feed commands as part of 
the login script, when entered in the following format:

Sends or receives a carriage return

Sends or receives a line feed
For example, the string “waitfor Joe” waits to receive Joe 
followed by a carriage return and line feed from the remote computer 
before executing the next command in the script.

Literal characters
The backslash ( \ ) character defines that the next character
 is 
transmitted as a literal character, and is not subject to any special 
processing ordinarily associated with that character. 
Examples:
\^
Includes a caret as part of the string
\<
Includes a < as part of the string
\\
Includes a backslash as part of the string

GNU Library General Public License
Version 2, June 1991 
Copyright (C) 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 
59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307, USA. 
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document,
but changing it is not allowed. 
[This is the first released version of the library GPL. It is numbered 2 because it goes
with version 2 of the ordinary GPL.] 
PREAMBLE: The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to
share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are intended to guar-
antee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free
for all its users. 
This license, the Library General Public License, applies to some specially designated
Free Software Foundation software, and to any other libraries whose authors decide to
use it. You can use it for your libraries, too. 
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General
Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute cop-
ies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code
or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
free programs; and that you know you can do these things. 
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you
these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain
responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the library, or if you modify it. For ex-
ample, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give
the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive
or can get the source code. If you link a program with the library, you must provide
complete object files to the recipients so that they can relink them with the library, after
making changes to the library and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms
so they know their rights. 
Our method of protecting your rights has two steps: (1) copyright the library, and (2)
offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or mod-
ify the library. 
Also, for each distributors protection, we want to make certain that everyone under-
stands that there is no warranty for this free library. If the library is modified by some-
one else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the
original version, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the orig-
inal authors reputations. 
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to
avoid the danger that companies distributing free software will individually obtain
patent licenses, thus in effect transforming the program into proprietary software. To
prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyones free
use or not licensed at all. 
Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General
Public License, which was designed for utility programs. This license, the GNU Library
General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries. This license is quite dif-
ferent from the ordinary one; be sure to read it in full, and dont assume that anything
in it is the same as in the ordinary license.  
						

							Page 271
The reason we have a separate public license for some libraries is that they blur the dis-
tinction we usually make between modifying or adding to a program and simply using
it. Linking a program with a library, without changing the library, is in some sense sim-
ply using the library, and is analogous to running a utility program or application pro-
gram. However, in a textual and legal sense, the linked executable is a combined work,
a derivative of the original library, and the ordinary General Public License treats it as
such. 
Because of this blurred distinction, using the ordinary General Public License for librar-
ies did not effectively promote software sharing, because most developers did not use
the libraries. We concluded that weaker conditions might promote sharing better. 
However, unrestricted linking of non-free programs would deprive the users of those
programs of all benefit from the free status of the libraries themselves. This Library Gen-
eral Public License is intended to permit developers of non-free programs to use free li-
braries, while preserving your freedom as a user of such programs to change the free
libraries that are incorporated in them. (We have not seen how to achieve this as regards
changes in header files, but we have achieved it as regards changes in the actual func-
tions of the Library.) The hope is that this will lead to faster development of free librar-
ies. 
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. Pay
close attention to the difference between a “work based on the library” and a “work that
uses the library”. The former contains code derived from the library, while the latter
only works together with the library. 
Note that it is possible for a library to be covered by the ordinary General Public License
rather than by this special one. 
Terms and Conditions for Copying, Distribution and Modification
0. This License Agreement applies to any software library which contains a notice 
placed by the copyright holder or other authorized party saying it may be 
distributed under the terms of this Library General Public License (also called “this 
License”). Each licensee is addressed as “you”. 
A “library” means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared so as to 
be conveniently linked with application programs (which use some of those 
functions and data) to form executables. 
The “Library”, below, refers to any such software library or work which has been 
distributed under these terms. A “work based on the Library” means either the 
Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work 
containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/
or translated straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is 
included without limitation in the term “modification”.) 
“Source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for making 
modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means all the source code for 
all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts 
used to control compilation and installation of the library. 
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this 
License; they are outside its scope. The act of running a program using the Library 
is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only if its contents 
constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a 
tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what 
the program that uses the Library does. 
						

							Page 272 
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Librarys complete source code 
as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and 
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer 
of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence 
of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the Library. 
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at 
your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus 
forming a work based on the Library, and copy and distribute such modifications 
or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these 
conditions: 
a) The modified work must itself be a software library. 
b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that you 
changed the files and the date of any change. 
c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third 
parties under the terms of this License. 
d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table of data to be 
supplied by an application program that uses the facility, other than as an argu-
ment passed when the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith ef-
fort to ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such function or 
table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose re-
mains meaningful. (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots 
has a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the application. 
Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any application-supplied function or ta-
ble used by this function must be optional: if the application does not supply it, 
the square root function must still compute square roots.) 
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections 
of that work are not derived from the Library, and can be reasonably considered 
independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do 
not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when 
you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the 
Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose 
permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and 
every part regardless of who wrote it. 
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work 
written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the 
distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Library. 
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with the 
Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or 
distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License. 
3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License 
instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do this, you must alter all 
the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General 
Public License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 
2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify 
that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in these notices. 
Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so the 
ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all subsequent copies and 
derivative works made from that copy. 
This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library into a 
program that is not a library.
