In 1.02 using a 1084, the screen flickers (sort of an after-image in another
color) when the text scrolls.
Downloading from a 19.2KB board, Z-modem gets intermittent errors, while
Y-modem 1K (which generally gives less throughput) works fine...

Well, I've tryed every possible combination of colors/resolutions, and I can't get JrComm to do this "screen after image flicker thing" it does to you on my 1084. As far as the Zmodem errors go, have you tryed setting "Relaxed Timing" and/or turning "overdrive" off, if on? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tony Poole Traverse City, MI USA EMail:tony@irie.ais.org ____________________________________________________________________________

Are you sure that this isn't the 'standard' flicker that sometimes occurs when you scroll text on a multi-bitplane screen? Just curious.

If you are using an HST or V.32 modem, have ANSI colour turned on and display scrolling colour text the colours will scroll seperately. This happens on all the terminal programs I have tried. If you have less colours or a smaller variety of colours or no colour scrolling up the screen, you will not see this effect. > As far as the Zmodem errors go, have you tryed setting "Relaxed Timing" >and/or turning "overdrive" off, if on? I have seen no 16 colour ANSI terminal program which does not go to slow to properly support 19200 baud. The amount of clock cycles spent updating the display take away from the need to update the serial port 'gets'. If the number of colours is reduced the Zmodem download will stop generating errors. The overhead and lack of streaming in Ymodem makes it slow enough to not generate errors. > >---------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Tony Poole Traverse City, MI USA EMail:tony@irie.ais.org >____________________________________________________________________________ -- Darrell Grainger % Comspec Communications Inc., Toronto, Ontario, Canada darrell@comspec % Disclaimer: All opinions expressed are my own.

Just curious. If it's just the 'standard' flicker, which happens because the blitter can't blit multiple planes at once, have a look at CPUblit. You can get CPUblit from either AB20 or MRCserv, and it will allow you to use the CPU instead of the blitter for certain operations. I find it even useful for ls which highlites the directories as it lists them. -- .../Ed Preferrred: Ed.Wilts@BSC.Galaxy.BCSystems.Gov.BC.CA Ed Wilts Alternate: EdWilts@BCSC02.BITNET (604) 389-3430 B.C.

The screen flickering is part of the Amiga... It is usually only on 16 color screens, and worse with certain colors... And an accelerated Amiga shouldn't have as much of a problem... It is caused by each bitplane being scrolled one at a time... I believe it is documented right in the JR-Comm docs... -- /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ / _ _ \ Sysop of: \ \ () ) ) _ __ __ / Virtual Reality BBS / / / / / (/ / / Buford \ uunet.uu.net!umich!vela!sycom!vrtwo!matt \ \ / 808-337-1560 * 2400 baud * C-Net Amiga / / matt@vrtwo.UUCP \ PMRF Barking Sands, Kauai, Hawaii, USA \ \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

That probably is it but I have never experinced it on Ncomm 1.92
