[comp.sys.amiga] Boldface bug in DBW vt100 2.4

mwm@violet.berkeley.edu.UUCP (02/25/87)

Having finally gotten more memory again, I went back to interlaced
workbench.*  Gee, the vt100 emulator changed the color of my emacs mode
line. The culprits appear to be the two lines in window.c that say:

	SetAPen(mywindow->RPort,(long)(2+(1^p_screen)));

I'm not sure what the 1^p_screen is supposed to be doing, but it looks
like its trying to ensure that things have the right depth. The
obvious fix appears to be to make the line:

	SetAPen(mywindow->RPort,(long)(2+(1^(p_depth-1))));

At least, it gives me back my dark green mode line (as opposed to
blood red. Yuch.)

Anyone know what really should be going on here?

* I also picked up the the jitter-rid talked about earlier. It's just
an anti-glare filter. However, it does improve flicker, even though I
tried to approximate the old color settings. It may wind up saving me
$500 on an LP monitor. For $20, that's not to bad.
