Introduction

The term “ZCOM” refers to the HP Advanced Communications Controller (ACC) family of products. The ZCOM device (or terminal) definitions are stored in a configuration file, which is used by the TTGEN program each time it compiles a TTGEN configuration file. The ZDGEN program is responsible for converting an ASCII editable file of definitions into a binary device definition file. This allows new terminals to be defined with a minimum of effort. It also provides flexibility in modifying the operational details of existing terminals. The compiled file is also used by ZCOM utility programs ZMNTR and ZTERM.
