In a previous posting, I sent the source for a program that lets you
use the Amiga to emulate a "smart display" (well, a DataMedia 2500)
talking via the serial port. That program uses a special font, which
I happen to need in order to see certain weird characters that the
Stanford system generates. You don't really need this font to use
the AmigaDisplay program, but some people might find it interesting
anyway. (It also is somewhat "cleaner" than the default CLI font;
all the characters have been redesigned to fit better within the
character box.)
This source produces the file fonts:SAIL/8. You'll also have to
create fonts:SAIL.font. See the ROM Kernel Manual for more info.
As with the AmigaDisplay source, this source happens to demonstrate
some potentially interesting techniques. In particular, note the
section at the end where it gets around a limitation in the assembler
(to wit: no iteration feature) using recursion.
