The following files are part of the ANSITerm package:
ANSI190.PRG
ANSI190.DOC
FONT48.DAT
These files MUST be included. All other files are optional, except
XYZ which is necessary for file transfers.
ANSITerm's Features (* = New to version 1.5B, % = Updates for v. 1.8)
(& = Updates for v. 1.9)
- ANSITerm is a 100% ANSI VT-102 compatible terminal program that
supports full 16 colors, blinking text, with 80 columns.
- Supports X-modem, Y-modem, and Z-modem transfers (using XYZ.TTP)
- Full mouse support and menu bars
- AutoDialer with separate options (line-feeds, local echo, etc.)
for every entry.
* Capture buffer with the ability to send and print selected blocks
* Selectable color palettes
* New intelligent memory saving techniques
* View Buffer and block functions
* Auto Z-modem Download and Upload
* Ten 79-character global macros
* Upload/Download paths can be set along with the path of XYZ.TTP
% Better compatibility with Warp 9
% "Can't find XYZ.TTP" bug fixed.
% Properly supports VT-100 tabs
% Supports Y-modem G with Alan Hamilton's XYZ 2.02
% Buffer viewer now has PRIMITIVE editing capabilities
and displays text 4 times faster
% 57600 bps MIGHT work on an Atari TT
% Terminal displays text at least 2 times faster
& ANSITerm now supports underlined text
& Type-ahead buffer now takes up the entire width of the top line
& Buffer editor Delete Block bug fixed.
& An escape character can now be typed into the editor (HELP key)
& Character for <CR> (#13) in font has been changed to something
meaningful. Character for <LF> (#10) has been shifted right
by one pixel so it doesn't jam up against the new <CR>.
& The dialer will now properly dial all 14 telephone number
digits.
NOTE: The filename of the dialer and options file that is loaded
when you run the ANSI190.PRG program is STILL "ANSIDIAL.15B".
NOTE ALSO: When going to a file selector, ANSITerm will sometimes
appear to lock up. Just try hitting a few mouse buttons and the
file selector should appear. A similar situation occurs sometimes
when exiting ANSITerm.
ShareWare Info
This program is shareware and I have put much time into making this
into the best terminal program possible. If you use and like this program,
please support the author and allow him to make future upgrades by sending
a $15 donation or more to:
Timothy Miller
7519 Winging Way Drive
Tampa, FL 33615-1519
U.S.A.
Please make checks payable to Timothy Miller. All users in the
U.S.A. who register CAN REQUEST free updates by mail.
File Transfers
File transfers can be accomplished through the use of Alan Hamilton's
XYZ file transfer program. I have found no way to keep the program
in memory and call it when needed, so ANSITerm must load it each time
you transfer a file. For hard-drive users, this is not a problem
since ANSITerm remembers where XYZ is, but for floppy disk users, it
requires extra effort. ANSITerm will not allow you to swap floppys
(load XYZ from one and transfer to/from another) so the use of a RAM
disk is recommended for this purpose. You can set ANSITerm to load
XYZ from the ramdisk. (With a one floppy system, telling ANSITerm to
load XYZ from drive B: may have unpredictable results if ANSITerm is
loaded from Medium Res. The alert box may not display right. Try it
at your own risk.)
Menu Bars
To select a menu, click on the title. To make it go away, click
on the title again, outside of the window or on another title.
Auto DIALer Menu
To select a slot that has not been selected, click anywhere on the
line except for the field which says DIAL.
To insert a one-second pause in any editing fields sent to the modem,
press [F10]. This works for all macros. To insert a pause into
the phone number, most modems require a comma.
|DIAL|
If you click on DIAL on any line which has not been tagged for
group dial, that slot will immediately be selected, the dialer
will go away, and the telephone number listed in that
slot will be dialed. If that slot has been tagged for group
dial, the dial cycle will begin.
|J| (group dial)
If you click in the small field between DIAL and the name field
of a selected slot, that field will be tagged for group dial. If
you click in that field again, the slot will be untagged.
|BBS Name |
The next field to the right is the name field. Click here to
edit. Left and right arrow keys move the edit cursor left and
right. Delete removes the character that the cursor is on and
moves all characters to the right left to fill in the space.
Backspace deletes the character to the left of the cursor and
moves all characters at the right of the cursor to fill in the
space.
|I|
Initialize string. This allows a string containing optional
modem commands to be sent to the modem before the command to
dial is sent.
|Phone number|
To the right is the phone number field. Click here to edit the
phone number as you would for the name field.
| Baud|
Click here repeatedly until the baud rate you want is displayed.
The baud rate numbers have been shortened to provide greater space,
and the numbers are the baud rate divided by one hundred.
|Options |
Each column of this field corresponds directly to an option in the
options menu, essentially the same order. They are also listed
in the help menu. The meanings of the symbols are listed with
the OPTN menu information in this manual and below:
W: End of line wrap B: Destructive back space
E: Local Echo A: Application mode
R: Cursor Application mode N: New line and line feed mode
G: IBM Extended Character Graphics Set
L: Enable blink
ZYKXCG: Transfer protocol
Z: Z-modem
Y: Y-modem (batch)
K: X-modem 1k
X: X-modem (standard)
C: X-modem checksum
G: Y-modem G (for use with error correcting modems)
C: Capture enable F: Filter ANSI codes
Y: Type-ahead buffer
| F1: | F2: | F3: | Macros
There are 3 44-character macros for each slot in the dial menu.
