Perhaps 16 color ANSI emulation? Zmodem batch?? Development on PC-ANSI for STalker 3 is already complete. This was essentially a tweak of the VT100 code, plus support for translation tables to/from the native ST character set and true IBM fonts. STalker 3 supports the use of monospaced GDOS fonts, and an IBM GDOS font has been created for optional use in PC-ANSI mode. Alternatively you could use something like Harlekin to change the system font to an IBM one in order to get all of the IBM characters in PC-ANSI mode. The current version of STalker's VT100 and VT52 supports the colour setting sequences, although the support is restricted somewhat by the GEM VDI. The character colour can be changed (16 colours are supported, although a request for 'white' is mapped to black) but the cell colour cannot; VDI does not provide a way to do this. ZModem (and YModem-G) are currently under development. Eric
