- I have written a term program that uses pre-scrolling to speed up displays.
- It is a "2.0 only" program and will be available sometime near the end of
- september. I got the idea from VLT, and improved upon it. My terminal
- supports Full Ansi while using pre-scroll. (some animations may confuse it.)
- It supports up to a full screen of pre-scroll and uses the Amiga OS
- console.device to boot. (This means as the system gets better so does the
- term program.) Some other things it supports:
- o Full clipboard support (cut and paste, in term window or chat window)
- o A rich set of Rexx commands (still growing) for custom setup or
- login scripts... whatever you want really.
- o Xpr's Fully supported. The term will scan Libs: and stick all xpr's
- found in a sub-menu, making it easy to pick.
- o Asyncronous. EVREYTHING is asyncronous, settings windows requesters
- (uses standard ASL, again for future enhanement support). And information
- requesters. You can have as many open as you want, while typing in the
- terminal window.
- o Very font compliant. Will support any font for windows and screen. and
- any fixed-width for the actual terminal display. (they are selectable
- seperately from the settings windows.)
-
- o FAST, fast, fast. no term yet has out-done mine in speed trials.
-
- I was keeping this in-house only, but it seems that it will probably be
- packaged with a new BBS coming out soon, Excelsior BBS, which seems to be very
- powerfull and kinda fits in with my term (or the other way around, whichever)
-
- Chris... (posting this off a BBS and not my home site, if you would like to
- mail direct to me, send to chopps@ro-chp.UUCP, otherwise the bbs will get it
- and forward it to my system. either way...)
