- Hi netters!
-
- Does anybody know anything on DTEPAD's internals? I'd like to emulate
- its quickness and smoothness, besides the essential functions which
- are quite simple to implement in a rough way. How can this VMS utility
- be so fast? Did you notice how automatically-repeated characters from
- the keyboard are almost instantaneously echoed? What are the basic
- tricks of DTEPAD? I have observed several calls to sys$services
- related to event flags, by running it under DEBUG (you know, don't
- you, how this can be done, even if Digital does not agree ;-)
- If you (reading this) are a former DEC developer, please send me any
- material of ineterest. However, simple comments and hints are welcome.
