ANSION() (BOOLEAN)
Function
Report the status of ANSI availability with the current caller.
Syntax
ANSION() No arguments are required
Return Type & Value
BOOLEAN
If the caller can support ANSI then TRUE is returned,
otherwise FALSE is returned.
Remarks
This function will return TRUE if the caller has ANSI capabilities.
This could have been determined one of two ways. If the user answered
yes to the Do you want graphics? prompt this function will return TRUE.
If the user answered no, there is still a chance that the user has ANSI
capabilities; PCBoard will interrogate the remote computer to find out
if ANSI is available. If it is, this function will return TRUE.
Finally, if the user answered no and PCBoard was unable to detect ANSI
at login this function will return FALSE. There is still a chance that
the user could support ANSI but the only safe approach at this point is
to assume that there is no ANSI available.
Examples
IF (ANSION()) PRINTLN "You have ANSI support available!"
