The name of this document is BLIND.DOC. It can be found in the DOCS
directory of Terminate.
This file contains only information for people that cannot see.
Because we got a lot of personal requests from blind people, we decided
to create a few extra features which will help you to use Terminate even
faster and more easily than any other terminal program we know.
Most of you use some kind of speech device which only can detect BIOS
writes. Terminate will use direct screen writes in menus and BIOS calls
in terminal mode. You can choose to use BIOS calls all the time.
If you select Blind Support under installation the following will be
selected:
Sound is turned on giving you a sound when popping up or down a window
Key click is turned on giving you a click every time you press a key
Only menus will use direct screen writes
Cursor will be forced on all the time so your helper can see the cursor
All sounds are turned on
Passwords will not be hidden
No automatic passwords will be generated
The Blind Transfer window will be used for transfering files
The File Manager will default to only one window
Some extra sounds have been added
In submenus all the background windows will be removed before showing
the new window.
With blind support enabled, Terminate will always turn on the cursor so
if you have a helper he/she can tell you if the cursor position was
wrong and ask me to correct the error. This function also allows you to
press CONTROL ENTER and then move the cursor. This will move the cursor
position to the first position in the helpline at the bottom of the
screen, allowing you faster speech access. If no help is found in a
menu, when the menuline selector is used, then a beep will be played:
high tone, low tone.
To make things easier when transferring files, instead of the normal
full screen file transfer menu yours have been cut down to the actual
information you need. A sample picture is shown below. This window
starts at 1,1 upper left corner and the cursor is placed just before the
bytes transferred.
The menu looks like the following lines:
╒════════════╡ Blind transfer ╞╕
│ Filename DANBBS.ARJ │
│ Filesize 2153297 │
│ 75% 8192 │
│ CPS │
│ H Hangup No S Skip file │
╘══════════════════════════════╛
Menu finished.
Line 1: The name on the file.
Line 2: The size of the file.
Line 3: How many percent and how many bytes that are transfered.
Line 4: Chars per second, speed of transfer.
Line 5: S for skipping the rest of file, h for hanging up after transfer.
The message reader for Terminate is called TerMail. When starting up
this editor you could give the parameter /BLIND to enable special sounds
and features. If you call up TerMail from Terminate Alt-F7,L then this
parameter will automatically be added if blind support is enabled.
In the filemanager you can press Q for Quiet, which will disable the
entire left side and make it easier to view the files.
