1.
Are there any MGR fonts anywhere? How do I use them? Is MGR a realistic
set-up to use, or is scren space too limited?
2.
Do I have to write in C, using the MGR libraries to write an MGR application?
TIA4info,
Warwick.

?? Try "font n" where n is 1 through ~12. Check that you have font.prg in your
mgr binaries. There're other fonts around. There're also files which define
what fonts are available and which ones Mgr has access to. Check in $MGR/fonts
(wherever that is on your system). Screen space is restrictive for anything
over 12pt size, but then again, I don't have Overscan or Reflex.

In theory, no. The Mgr manual describes the ESC codes that can be used to
communicate with Mgr. Personally, I haven't looked very closely into this yet
but I managed to use Xlisp to output a few Mgr ESC codes which changed the
screen somewhat.
Cheers,
Graham

Being a total idiot, I hadn't downloaded `atarimgr.zoo' - I was using `mgr.zoo', which is only an update. Duh...
