I'm looking for any information that will confirm/deny the rumors of the SkyPIX standards being supported in ANY future/current release(s) of ANY terminal software. Currently, as far as I know, DemoTERM is the only terminal program that does (shareware available on any Atredes BBS database). The Atredes folks claim that ACCESS and possibly JrCOMM among others have intentions of adding this extention to the ANSI commands currently supported. FYI: SkyPix is the command standard used by Atredes to allow REAL graphic control, Font control, menu gadgets, IFF brush and IFF sound transmision. I do so hope a more full featured terminal package (compared to demoterm) comes out soon with this support.

I can confirm that JR-Comm 1.0 _will_ have SkyPix included in it, the beta versions already being tested have had it for the past few weeks. -jack-

OOOOhhh a woise guoy.... eh? B^) I meant like actual pixel level graphics i.e. 320 x 200 x 16 colors over the modem. As opposed to ANSI's color character graphics. Are there other BBS packages doing this? If so, please let me know, I just wasn't aware of them. It's like when my kid's watching Mr. Rogers, and he has 'picture picture' draw something in real time, can you say that? 'Real Time' sure, I knew you could. Ohhh it's a beautiful day in the..... ;^) Stan Fisher - stan@teroach.phx.mcd.mot.com - asuvax!mcdphx!teroach!stan Motorola Microcomputer Division, Tempe, Arizona - Voice (602) 438-3228 Call our User Group BBS "M.E.C.C.A." running Atredes 1.1 @ (602) 893-0804

I heard one of the Bell Regions was doing a trial with the French equivalent (Minitel?) Seems to me that some sort of standard approach would be good rather than Skypix which is propietary and ANSI which is only standard because it is IBM (is my Amiga bias showing?). -- Jim Harvey | "Ask not for whom the bell Michigan Bell Telephone | tolls and you will only pay 29777 Telegraph | Station-to-Station rates."
