Well, I recompiled and ran a previously non-working terminal program after getting my Beta 1.2b update, and, suddenly the screen started looking 99% better, scrolls started happening the way I'd pictured them... So, hey, here's one vote of confidence for v1.2.. Although, I did experience a few problems... Like, once I made the mistake of using DiskDoctor before DiskSalv.. I also ran into a few snags when I had bad disks. Once I tried to DiskCopy from one disk to another, and it went backwards (Both disks had the same name, but I had been real carefull to note which was in which drive, and which icon was which...) I'm still having trouble using the console device with a window set up with a SuperBitMap though. <esc>c doesn't completely reset the window, and there's no way to turn the cursor on (<esc>p don't work). Anybody have any great ideas on that one? I suppose it's a minor problem since I'll probably end up chucking the console driver and writing my own VT100 (220/241?) emulator anyway... By the way, I picked up some PD stuff at my dealer, and found a few programs worthy of mention. Sadly I don't have the authors names handy, but heres a "Thanks for the nift program" to 1) DISKSALV - darn useful! I know your on the Net, so, thanks!!! 2) LENS - real cute 3) DAZZLE - kaliedoscopic (of course, a very big Thanks to all who've posted real live source to the net.. Things sure are lookin better than 8 months ago.....) Sorry if I get a bit verbose at three in th morning, Cheers, Joe Meadows js@uw-june
