In-Reply-To: message from SEWALL@UCONNVM.BITNET Is there any program out there that currently can interpret ANSI graphics as well as ANSI codes and turn them into GS SHR graphics? I have Snowterm 1.07 and that is a great program for interpreting ANSI codes, but no graphics. RS

(Used to be EasyLink, but someone already had that name.) I grilled one of AE's employees demonstrating it at AppleFest SF in September. He said that it supports full VT-100 emulation, including ANSI graphics, using MouseText on the text screen. That was one of the few features I never got him to demonstrate, though, so I don't know how well it works. Since it only uses the text screen, and not SHR graphics, I would think that it would have trouble with certain things, like underlined text. If you wish to take a risk on ReadyLink and buy it, it's available for $99 from Applied Engineering P.O. Box 5100, Carrollton, TX 75011 214-241-6060 or for $69 from Quality Computers 15102 Charlevoix, Grosse Pointe, MI 48230 1-800-443-6697 I never bought it, myself, even at the AppleFest reduced price, mainly because both the text and review editors are disk based instead of memory based (giving them sizes limited only by free disk space) and it can't access extra memory of ANY kind greater than 128K. I did really like its ability to edit text in one window while receiving incoming data in another, though, so if they ever upgrade it to support the extra memory in my GS like ProTERM does, I'll buy it. >RS -- ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________ ARPA: lunatic@uscsb.UCSC.EDU / ________/ Internet: lunatic%ucscb@ucscc.edu / ____// _ ___ _ UUCP: ...!ucscc!ucscb!lunatic / ___///__ {_} |\| /-\ | ][ {_ GEnie: L.BRUCE (Lunatic Bruce) / __________________________________________________________________/ (:
