Predecessor Products

ReGIS support was formerly available in standalone products Reflection for UNIX and OpenVMS (versions 9.0 through 13.0), Reflection for ReGIS Graphics (versions 6.0 through 8.0x), and Reflection 4 (versions 5.21 and earlier), and suites that included these products.

Enabling ReGIS Graphics Support

  • In Reflection 2014 or 2011: When creating a new VT session document, you must enable the “Support graphics†option (located right of the “Terminal type†list option for new VT sessions, or below the “Terminal type†selection for existing VT sessions).
