- DESCRIPTION
- ConsoleChat is a tool for chating with system operator,
- root or someone who happens to be available. When CC is
- started it opens a window on the Workbench screen for
- a local input/output and outputs status and help lines
- on it. Similar status and help lines are output to the
- serial user.
-
- ConsoleChat's 'screen' includes two status lines (one
- for both chatters) and help line, which shows the
- keyboard commands. Between these three lines are two
- blank areas where chatters can write.
-
- ConsoleChat supports finnish syllabication. At first
- syllabication is used, but you can toggle it out if
- you want.
-
- Serial user can also toggle between two keymaps. When
- '8bit' is selected nothing is converted. When '7bit'
- is selected ä and ö are converted. Use 7bit-map, when
- you are using SF7-keymap.
-
- Chatters can wake up each other by using display beep
- function. Do NOT use it more than couple of times.

- BUGS
- Doesn't check how big a font is. So the look is very
- fascinating when default font is bigger than 8*8.
-
- '/NOSIZE' is output to the window's title when using
- OS <2.0.
-
- NOTES
- ConsoleChat uses some very common ANSI/VT10x codes.
-
- The smallest allowed ROWS is 11.
