I don't know if any of this is available or not, but here are some of
my shareware wishes:
1) tek4010 emulation for KERMIT. IBM PC's have it, why can't we?
Short of that, something that will plot a file full of tek4010
commands (ie something that would plot a terminal session log
file). The second is fairly easy if one knew how to get to
the silly graphics board.
2) An inverse to RDCPM -- something that will write a file to a CPM
format disk (for those of us who have useful programs in CPM
but not converted to MSDOS)
3) A set of graphics primitives for TURBO PASCAL.
4) A version of MDRIVE like the CPM MDRIVE that one can enable and
disable without re-booting ( I only have 256K so some applications
require all the ram I have )

Anybody who wants to add Tek4010 emulation to the Rainbow -- please feel free! The sources are there for whoever wants them, as are the IBM PC Kermit sources, which include Tek emulation. Why isn't Tek emulation in Rainbow Kermit 2.30? Because nobody knows how to do it! Access to the Rainbow graphics is apparently so arcane that nobody -- even when armed with DEC's technical documentation -- can figure it out. Not just for plotting points, etc, but for something as simple as setting fore- and background colors in text mode! - Frank -------

This exists and is available on many rainbow bulletin boards around the
country in the form of Ken Nist's (sp?) turbo pascal graphics routines. I've
used them quite a lot w/ no problems.
