- VLIB Notes
-
- a. Vs 4.2d updates (02/03/90, Joe Wright):
-
- - Order of strings is back the way it was in Hal Bower's TCAP. SA, AT,
- RC and RL strings are after CD (clear to end of screen) so that CD is
- back where Hal had put it originally, following LI (line insert).
- - Slightly different structure to TCAP to accomodate new strings and
- graphics in the future: Beginning with CL at NZTCAP+17H, we have a
- number of null-terminated strings for the various Terminal functions.
- Following this is the Graphics area. If the user is to add his own
- terminal strings to the TCAP without affecting VLIB, then VLIB (or a
- program which uses the TCAP directly) must have a means of finding the
- Graphics section which will have changed position. VLIB4D and NZTCAPD
- now use (NZTCAP+13) as an offset from the beginning of NZTCAP to the
- GOELD entry in the Graphics section. This will allow us to add
- Terminal strings and still be able to find the Graphics.
