Does anyone know how (or if it is possible) to put gulam's vt52 terminal emulator in 50 line mode? The doc hints that this is possible by giving a termcap entry for monochrome 50 line/80 col. but doesn't say how to put the st in this mode. Thanks. -- ====================================================================== Peter L.

Jackson | peter@geog.ubc.ca >Atmospheric Science Programme | peter_jackson@mstg.ubc.ca >University of British Columbia | peter_jackson@ubcmtsg.bitnet There are two little utility TOS programs that switch the ST between 50 and 25 line mode. You might be able to put the execution of 50LINE.PRG in your gulam.g file (so it gets executed when you enter Gulam). You could put 25LINE.PRG in your ".logout" (I cannot remember what it is called for Gulam, but it is there). Then by changing your termcap, you could display more text. This is just a theory, but I will try it and let you know. The two programs came to me via comp.binaries.atari.st a long time ago. If you cannot find them on atari.archive, let me know. -- ---------------------------------+------------------------------------- Mickey R.

This is what I do: alias 50 'set nrows 50' alias 25 'set nrows 25' This is in my gulam.g file. Seems to work fine for me... Is this what you want to do? Kevin ramsiri@blake.acs.washington.edu

I'm including them here since they're so tiny. uudecode and unarc to extract. They only work for TOS and TTP programs in monochrome mode (but, IMHO worth their bits in gold when using programs that recognise the extra screen resolution...). table !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>? @ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_ begin 644 hi_prgs.arc M&@-(23(U+E!21P 3 !4/3Y"<Z@ ! !@&@"0 X D!9/^0"0 WP_z M/ $3DY43[!\ )F)* (FD ""%I $C_]B%I $S_ZC%\ !#_TC%\ !C_UC%\y M!0#_V$)G3D$ D$<" )!@&@A(234P+E!21P 3 .<.I3%QE0 ! ,x M8#0 @#0 T$ +3_(-',#G!P\ !)PXH?($%A\ LR0 5 1!J((3XB^6<O) Fw @_]3%N(C@G[25 &+\L[92 *!_V(2<<1)DX!$! \$ &@! v u end PS: Regarding the original question. I think gulam either has HI50 built into it or supports the use of HI50 using an environment variable. Try either:: set nrows 50 -or- set nrows 50 hi50 to invoke 50 line mode under gulam. (Sorry I don't remember which, but I rarely use gulam...) Use whichever works with 25 substituted for 50 to reverse the process. Again, this only works on a monochrome screen (although the lines per screen gets real(!) impressive when using hi50 on a moniterm monitor... :^) Note that the use of HI50/HI25 does not require gulam. You can run HI50 on any system using a mono monitor, from the desktop or any cli (command line interface) program and, even though it won't effect the desktop, it will expand the number of lines per screen (and shrink the characters) for all TOS or TTP programs run after that until you run HI25 to reverse the process. --- John L.
