- Funny. Amiga has got very many different terminal programs.
- Though, I have found only one terminal prg, Jr-Comm, that can
- do two simple things - at the same time.
-
- at first: Show 7-bit scandinavian characters and handle them right.
- and then: Show 8-bit IBM-graphics.
-
- Yes, Jr-Comm does it. By the way, VLT does it too, but it doesn't
- have a decent phonebook internally, and is sometimes difficult to
- use, and can't save all Zmodem xfer preferences...
-
- Term would be THE terminal (as Jr-Comm 2.0 ain't out yet ;-), but
- it's useless in 7-bit scandinavian use. I can get 7-bit chars, but
- only with the internal emulations - which are Slllooooooowwwwww...
- Why can't XemIbm.library use any font? Or could someone tell me
- which translation table values should I set, and how, to get things
- working at least a bit.
-
- Many times I have downloaded a new terminal program, and tested it.
- EVERY time, after an hour, I have been forced to exit it, and load
- Jr-Comm, since I can't get 7-bit scandinavian alphabets out or in.
-
- I know I'm not the problem. Everyone that use NComm, Term, or whatever,
- always say "I don't need scandinavian 7-bit chars". I DO !!!!!
