-- RIPscrip - Remote Imaging Protocol Script Language --
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Remote Imaging Protocol script language (RIPscrip(TM)) is a text-based
protocol for transmitting graphical images via a communications link.
RIPscrip instructs the remote terminal to interact with the host system in a
graphical, mouse-driven environment. Hosts that support ASCII or ANSI
text can have a custom graphical user interface with few changes to their
system configuration. For most systems, no alteration to the host system's
software is necessary to implement RIPscrip graphics. There are also a
number of hosts that directly support RIPscrip graphics.
RIPscrip is a 7-bit ASCII text based language, making it compatible with
packet-based networks and various computing platforms. It supports 16
colors at 640x350 resolution. Future plans for RIPscrip include 24-bit color,
transmittable bitmaps, sound support, a resolution independent coordinate
system, and full motion video - complete multimedia capabilities.
Some new features in RIPscrip version 1.5 are MicroANSI fonts; pie slice,
elliptical pie slice, elliptical arc, and bezier curve drawing primitives; button
command; text variable creation and query; host commands; and local
RIPscrip file playback.
RIPaint(TM), a graphical paint program/development environment, draws
menus and screens that can be used to replace or supplement the existing
host interface. Most text-based hosts, such as BBS's, can take advantage of this
tool. The RIPscrip language allows the user interface developer to add mouse
support for clickable menu options to access their system.
The telecommunications community can also use RIPscrip to add graphics,
charts, images and diagrams to electronic mail, forum messages, and file
descriptions to provide a clearer understanding of their information and
ideas. The on-line community now has the means to communicate with
sophistication and ease. Users that found on-line systems to be confusing and
difficult may now easily navigate a host system by clicking their mouse on
graphical images, like Prodigy(TM) and America Online(TM).
RIPscrip graphics may be viewed using our FreeWare terminal program,
RIPterm(TM). This terminal program may be given out free of charge to your
users. That's right - NO ROYALTIES! RIPterm is a full-featured terminal
program with many features found only in commercial terminals , such as:
■ Pull-down menu interface
■ Ultra high speed graphical text output
■ X-Modem, X-Modem 1K, Y-Modem Batch, Z-Modem, Kermit, and ASCII File Transfer Protocols
■ Dialing Directory
■ Scrollback Buffer
■ Keystroke Macros
■ Context Sensitive Help System
■ Shell to DOS capability
■ ANSI and SCO Unix VT-100 compatible
■ Support for COM1 through COM4
■ ...and much more!
RIPscrip brings multimedia
to telecommunications!
