The name of this document is BLIND.DOC found in the DOCS directory.
This file contains only information for people that cannot see.
Because we got a lot of personal requests from blind people, we decided to
make a few extra features which will help you to use Terminate even faster
and more easily than any other terminal program known to us.
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 you helper can see the cursor
All sounds are turned on
Passwords will not be hidden
No autopasswords will be generated
The blind transfer window will be used for transfering files
File manager will default to only 1 window
Some extra sounds have been added
In menu menus all the background windows will be removed before showing
the new window.
With blind support 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
move 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 transfering 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
transfered.
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 skip 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 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.
These features was made with help from many blind persons, in the future the
blind contact person will help us to support these features.
If you have any special needs, please send a letter to the following
person and he will help us doing what you want or need:
