For professional use, we have developped an Atari ST Tektronix (tm) "ASTEK"
emulator with the following features:
- to be used with monochrome system only,
- offers choice and settings by menus and dialog boxes,
mapping of graphic space: 1024x780 -> 512x390,
full emulation of 4010-4012,
emulation of 4014 vector mode,
interprets some sequences of 4105 format: line attributs, marker
type, fill area style. Dynamic drawing is possible without
refreshing the entire screen.
- enables graphical input with mouse and keyboard,
- offers choice for local character size (between the three system fonts),
- presents text in one or two-columns mode (without scrolling) in Tek mode,
Save of graphical screen (now in Degas format) on disk file for later
local enhancement and hard-copy.
- return to alphanumeric (VT52) mode with vertical scrolling at any time,
- break signal capability....
The first version of ASTEK was presented on the Atari Software Show in
Paris (18 march 1986) and a copy was given to Atari Corp via Atari-France to
be evaluated. Many professionals have showed interest in this product.
Therefore, we plane to distribute it with charge (ranging $100-$150)
should Atari Corp. decide not to act as distributor.
