#R:dual:-22400:fortune:38000001:000:1803 fortune!jones Jan 20 14:11:00 1984 Visually, I prefer the following even though the period is offset. When I was working for Qantel, I modified my terminal character generator ROM to give me full go graphics capability to support my go board handler...if you're gonna do it, it's nice to be able to do it right. #2 A B C D E F G H J K L M N O P Q R S T 19 . - - - - - - - - @ O O - - - O O @ . 18 l . . . . . . . @ . @ O .

I DO NOT like the notation convention in which the edges are a different character. I think they should be .'s throughout. Although cute little edge characters are in some sense more like "reality", they just don't work at the resolution of a 24x80 character display. The screen gets too cluttered for me and my "GO Eye" can't take in the formations. -- Mark Weiser UUCP: {seismo,allegra,brl-bmd}!umcp-cs!mark CSNet: mark@umcp-cs ARPA: mark@maryland
