pdbeam@watdcsu.waterloo.edu (ALCAL (Bell/Alex) Project) (08/17/89)
I am currently working on the Bell Canada ALEX project
here at the U of W. As you may know, the ALEX terminals
use the NAPLPS standard for their graphical displays.
I am having problems creating animated sequences, however.
[My software is _Createx-C_ from TV-Ontario]
Nothing seems to work: macros are too slow, and blinks
cannot be utilized, because I have an overlapping sequence of
images. There MUST be some way to do it.
I would appreciate any information on the subject.

[I posted this message last week, on comp.protocols.misc AS WELL AS on
this part of the net: however, I don't know what happened to it here--
maybe it got fried ...]
I am currently working on a project between the U. of Waterloo, and
Bell Canada. The "ALEX" Videotex Database uses NAPLPS graphics, and
I am in need of some help in creating animation with this standard.
I have tried macros, but they proved to be much too slow; blinks do not
work, because the objects to be animated overlap (eg: a book opening up).
If there is anyone out there who knows how to do these things in NAPLPS,
I would appreciate the help.
Thanx in advance.
