Is there any final production of AGATE out in the world or is there only the 3rd beta release I have gotten of FTP. I think this program does a good job with ANSI graphics compared to ProTerm (which lacks it totally). Where I live, there are two Apple boards and about 50 PC boards. So I like to use the other boards for My information of what is going on in the world.

I am using ProTERM, I guess it's not the one for >ANSI. ANSI is a standard for text characters. What most people mean when they say 'ANSI' are the text characters built into most IBM PCs and compatibles. It's not the exact same thing as true ANSI, but it's not too far aff. Think of it like color mousetext for the IBM. I know of no software for the GS that supports ANSI. AGATE 'supposively' supports it. I've tried AGATE, but the text was so illegible that I could barely make out anything. Also, none of the features worked. I followed the instructions to the letter and nothing worked, except dialing. Also, AGATE is for 8-bit Apple II's and uses double hi-res graphics (in black and white) to accomplish this). >---- >ProLine: asong@pro-nbs >Internet: asong@pro-nbs.cts.com >UUCP: crash!pro-nbs!asong >ARPA: crash!pro-nbs!asong@nosc.mil ---------------------------------------- BITNET-- mquinn@utcvm <------------send files here pro-line-- mquinn@pro-gsplus.cts.com

In-Reply-To: message from MQUINN@UTCVM.BITNET ProTERM does support ANSI. I don't know what version it was put in, but you can probably get an update from InSync Software for free are $5 or something....

The newest version of ProTERM that I am aware of is v2.2, and I see nothing in there for support of the IBM "ANSI" graphics. VT-100, but not ANSI. >Edwin Howell Watkeys III >Internet: edwatkeys@pro-sol.cts.com ProLine: edwatkeys@pro-sol >UUCP: crash!pro-sol!edwatkeys ARPA: crash!pro-sol!edwatkeys@nosc.mil >BitNET: edwatkeys%pro-sol.cts.com@nosc.mil -- /// ____ \\\ |"It's nothing to do with me.
