Hi guys. Can anyone tell me where I can get information for the apple.80 terminal emulation? The list of control characters and stuff to turn inverse on and off, and the jumping around the screen codes. I am going to order modemworks soon, but I was wondering if I would need the information I asked for above. Doesn't modemworks have a thing where you can load terminal emulation and it already has specified amperstand commands to do stuff? -page ---- ProLine: page@pro-party Internet: page@pro-party.cts.com UUCP: crash!pro-party!page ARPA: crash!pro-party!page@nosc.mil ---- ProLine: page@pro-party Internet: page@pro-party.cts.com UUCP: crash!pro-party!page ARPA: crash!pro-party!page@nosc.mil

The list of control characters and stuff to turn } inverse on and off, and the jumping around the screen codes. The apple80 terminal template (for use with ModemWorks or ProLine) follows the standard Apple 80 column firmware control codes for performing terminal functions. Check any Apple programming manual for a list of these codes. (e.g. Apple IIe 80 Column Card reference or Apple IIGS Firmware Reference). } I am going to order modemworks soon, but I was wondering if I would need } the information I asked for above.

ModemWorks comes with a 150-page manual that describes everything you need or want to know about using terminal emulation with ModemWorks. Basically, all the hard work is done for you. You load in a terminal template with the &TSET command, and then you perform various terminal functions with the &IOCTL command. The neat thing is that all your program has to do is issue the command, i.e.: & ioctl (ioClearScreen) and ModemWorks determines which codes to send through the modem to do a screen clear based on the terminal you loaded in with &TSET. ModemWorks supports over 28 separate terminal emulation functions -- everything from reverse scrolling to mousetext support. The manual documents all these abilities and more relating to emulation. ModemWorks is $59.95 direct from the Morgan Davis Group. } -page } } ---- } ProLine: page@pro-party } Internet: page@pro-party.cts.com } UUCP: crash!pro-party!page } ARPA: crash!pro-party!page@nosc.mil --Morgan Davis 10079 Nuerto Lane, Rancho San Diego, California, 91977-7132 (619) 670-0563 UUCP: crash!pro-sol!mdavis AOL, BIX: mdavis ARPA: crash!pro-sol!mdavis@nosc.mil GEnie: m.davis42 INET: mdavis@pro-sol.cts.com ProLine: mdavis@pro-sol
