*** TELE-CAT // V2.0 DAILY ***
|
|||
|
|
*** UPDATED MAR 09, 1985 ***
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
NOTE: THIS IS THE DAILY THAT COMES
|
|||
|
|
WITH THE TELE-CAT // V2.0 SOFTWARE.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
SINCE THE FIRST VERSION WAS RELEASED,
|
|||
|
|
WE HAVE EXPANDED THIS SYSTEM'S SOFTWARE
|
|||
|
|
AND HAVE MADE MANY NEW ENHANCEMENTS:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
+ WHILE THE BOARD IS PRINTING
|
|||
|
|
INFORMATION TO YOUR SCREEN, THERE IS A
|
|||
|
|
64 KEY TYPEAHEAD BUFFER. THIS MEANS
|
|||
|
|
THAT IN MANY AREAS OF THE BOARD, YOU
|
|||
|
|
CAN CONTINUE TO TYPE WHILE THE BOARD IS
|
|||
|
|
OPERATING. THE BUFFER IS NOT ACTIVE ALL
|
|||
|
|
THE TIME.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
+ A WORD-WRAP SYSTEM WAS ADDED. THIS
|
|||
|
|
MEANS THAT IF YOU ARE TYPING A MESSAGE,
|
|||
|
|
AND YOU GET TO THE END OF A LINE, IT
|
|||
|
|
WILL TAKE THE WORD YOU ARE TYPING AND
|
|||
|
|
PUT IT ON THE NEXT LINE. A BUFFER IS
|
|||
|
|
ACTIVE HERE SO YOU CAN CONTINUE TO TYPE
|
|||
|
|
WHILE IT IS WRAPPING. IF YOU DO NOT
|
|||
|
|
LIKE THE WORD-WRAP SYSTEM ACTIVE WHILE
|
|||
|
|
YOU ARE WRITING, PRESS <W> AT THE MAIN
|
|||
|
|
MENU TO TURN IT OFF.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
+ A NEW CURSOR SYSTEM WAS ADDED. BY
|
|||
|
|
TYPING <CTRL-G> AT ANY INPUT, IT WILL
|
|||
|
|
TOGGLE THE ANIMATED CURSOR ON OR OFF,
|
|||
|
|
DEPENDING ON WHETHER IT IS ON OR OFF.
|
|||
|
|
ZHE CURSOR WORKS WHEN YOU ARE TYPING
|
|||
|
|
AND WHEN YOU PAUSE MESSAGES. THE CURSOR
|
|||
|
|
IS KNOWN TO PICK UP EVERY CHARACTER
|
|||
|
|
YOU TYPE.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
+ BY PRESSING <S> FROM THE MAIN MENU,
|
|||
|
|
YOU CAN GO TO A NEW SPECIAL EFFECTS
|
|||
|
|
SECTION. THIS SECTION LETS YOU DEFINE
|
|||
|
|
YOUR MACROS (NOW THREE AVAILABLE TO
|
|||
|
|
YOU,) AND THE CURSOR. YOU CAN MAKE YOUR
|
|||
|
|
OWN CURSOR THAT IS UP TO 12 CHARACTERS
|
|||
|
|
IN LENGTH.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
+ MANY PEOPLE OWN APPLE-CATS. ON MANY
|
|||
|
|
TERMINAL PROGRAMS, A RUBOUT IS NOT
|
|||
|
|
NEEDED TO ERASE CHARACTERS FROM THE
|
|||
|
|
SCREEN. SO IF YOU ARE CALLING WITH AN
|
|||
|
|
APPLE-CAT OR A TERMINAL PROGRAM (SUCH
|
|||
|
|
AS AE, COM-WARE, ETC..) THAT DOES NOT
|
|||
|
|
NEED RUBOUTS, YOU CAN PRESS <B> FROM
|
|||
|
|
THE MAIN MENU TO TOGGLE BACKSPACING
|
|||
|
|
FROM SLOW TO FAST OR FROM FAST TO SLOW.

|
|
|||

|
|||
