- This file describes patches for OS/2 to BEAV 1.33.
-
- The OS/2 version runs only under OS/2 protected mode and supports the
- long file names of HPFS (up to 256 characters).It does not use the code
- #ifdef'ed MSDOS but instead is based on the UNIX code (in fact, I used
- -UMSDOS -DUNIX -DOS2).
-
- It has the follwing advantages over the original MS-DOS version:
- - supports *all* extended keys (such as ALT-F, ALT-TAB, ALT-F12 etc.)
- - adapts itself to any screen height (windowed command prompts under
- OS/2 on a 1024x768 PM screen can become up to 96 lines high).
- - uses termcap (termcap.dat is supplied to be placed somewhere where
- PATH or INIT point to) and thus provides customizable screen colors
- while still having very fast screen output (comparable as if it would
- write directly into screen memory).
-
- The following files are new:
-
- patches.os2 The context diffs
- makefile.os2 Makefile for this version, for MS C 6.00 or emx+gcc
- beav.def The linker definition file for OS/2, MS C 6.00
- beav32.def The linker definition file for OS/2, emx+gcc
-
- termcap.c Termcap implementation for OS/2 and DOS
- termcap.h (c) Fred Fish
- termcap.dat
-
- I would like it if you could integrate the patches into your
- distribution.
