Took me a while to figure out what you were replying to... Checked the
|
||
|
|
message base & found the culprit - a test message that I posted in this
|
||
|
|
echo back on 02-Nov-94 23:06. Quick reply - almost as quick as mine
|

|
|
<snicker>.

Seriously, though... You might say I'm familiar with OS9 (the 8-bit
|
||
|
|
version, anyway), as I've been using it on a CoCo for the last 5 or 6
|
||
|
|
years. I've been wanting to move to the OSK platform, but... same old
|
||
|
|
song & dance: money & lack thereof.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As for TimeShare Data Systems, it's not a business (yet? who knows), nor
|
||
|
|
is it used in industrial applications. It's simply my BBS. As you may
|
||
|
|
or may not know (probably not, actually <g>), I'm the current developer
|
||
|
|
for the 'original' RiBBS BBS package which runs on the Tandy Colour
|
||
|
|
Computer 3 under OS9 Level 2. I've been tearing through the code since
|
||
|
|
late August of '94 & judging by how long it took me to reply back to you,
|
||
|
|
I think I should take some time off! <snicker>

This is primarily for Clyde Price, but may be of interest to others.
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
Below are the patches to keydrv #48 CRC $A8EA84 which will patch
|
||
|
|
it to use the two-handed Dvorak layout CRC $751917. I also have
|
||
|
|
the one-handed layouts for left and right hands, if anyone needs
|
||
|
|
them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A patched version of keydrv should be on Ocean Beach by the time you
|
||
|
|
get this message. I'm also working on a program to do the changes
|
||
|
|
on the fly, but it isn't done yet. When finished, I'll pass on a
|
||
|
|
copy to David for distribution with the MM/1, as well as releasing
|
||
|
|
it to the public.
|
||
|

Hi, Clyde.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Oops, messed up in my last message -- I completely forgot the Control
|
||
|
|
table. At any rate, I have put together the program, and will send it to
|
||
|
|
Ocean Beach via Internet. No need for the patches any more.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

Here's the help (-?) entry for the program:

It should meet your needs.

Hi, all.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For OSTerm 68K v2.2.0 and higher owners who will be using the
|
||
|
|
newer versions of Windio (53.10 and higher):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The new version of WindIO 'breaks' Andrzej Kotanski's keyboard
|
||
|
|
hack (since the tables have been moved and rearranged.) Things
|
||
|
|
like Ctl-c and other combinations aren't recognized by OSTerm
|
||
|
|
68K. However there is a simple fix:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Add the following line to your osterm.config file:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NOKEYKLUGE = TRUE
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The correct Ctl-KEY codes will now be generated with the following
|
||
|
|
exceptions:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When ANSI keypad is enabled, the following four special sequences
|
||
|
|
must now be used:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To Generate Use key sequence
|
||
|
|
----------- ----------------
|
||
|
|
Ctrl-F Alt-Ctrl-F
|
||
|
|
Ctrl-N Alt-Ctrl-N
|
||
|
|
Ctrl-P Alt-Ctrl-P
|
||
|
|
Ctrl-B Alt-Backspace
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(Alt-Ctrl-B is stolen for "move window to back")
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once the new WindIO is stable, a fixed version of OSTerm 68K will
|
||
|
|
be sent to all OSTerm 68K owners, at no charge.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
TTYL. Colin.

Hi, Russ.

|
|
||
|
|
Dunno if you and David talked yet, but I talked to Kevin, and he does have
|
||
|
|
your machine, and he is attempting to repair it. Didn't supply an estimated
|
||
|
|
time though.
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
So at least you know it got through ok.

Colin,
|
||
|
|
Thanks for checking with Kevin Pease on this. I hope he can fix it
|
||
|
|
and get it out soon.
|
||
|
|
BTW I hear Nitros9 update is mailing now, wondered when I can look
|
||
|
|
to the mail box and find. Also you had volunteered to beta test
|
||
|
|
RiBBS_OSK and would also send blank disk for that. Are you still
|
||
|
|
interested ?
