Hello, with the release of ProTERM v1.9p (only a few steps from 2.0) there have
|
|
been a couple of noted problems and concerns.
|
|
|
|
Number 1; It still does not have an USRobotics HST driver in the configuration
|
|
program. Well this problem has already been solved. Myers (of The
|
|
9600 Club) re-wrote the drivers to work correctly. I just put up the
|
|
Super Serial Card one, the Modem Port one is done but I have yet to
|
|
upload it. They both work. Remember the patch for v1.2 will not work
|
|
with v1.9p. Don't bother trying it, their formats are different.
|
|
|
|
Number 2; The editor DOES work. It can save text/appleworks format (and it
|
|
works fine) It is extremely radical. I like it better than Appleworks
|
|
The editor is version 2.0, the program is v1.9p. (like I said, only
|
|
a few steps away)
|
|
|
|
Number 3; Greg has fixed many upsetting things in proterm. For example,
|
|
when dialing after a few seconds if your modem doesn't connect
|
|
for whatever reason it will keep that boards' dial screen there.
|
|
(instead of returning you to the board list)
|
|
|
|
Number 4; It supports Y-modem CRC when downloading. This will not speed
|
|
anything up, but will have better error checking. Transit finally
|
|
works. It fairly fast too!
|
|
|
|
Number 5; ** THE MOST IMPORTANT ** ProTERM supports mousetext and a sound
|
|
generator, this is a terminal emulation. Like VT-100 and Datamedia
|
|
are. This is UNREAL!!
|
|
|
|
What is mousetext? Remember when you got your //e enhanced about
|
|
a year ago? And Appleworks could show like open and closed Apples at
|
|
the main menu! This will revolutionize bulletin boards.
|
|
|
|
ONLY WITH PROTERM V1.9 - V2.0
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
The Sound Generator --> Supports pitch, tempo, tone. It is feasible
|
|
to actually write a song that could be sent over the phone to the
|
|
person on the other end.
|
|
|
|
ITS TERMINAL EMULATION: ProTERM Special, so configure your system to
|
|
that.
|
|
|
|
Compatibility: Semi-compatible with Datamedia 1500. It uses
|
|
the same hi and lo lite control characters (inverse)
|
|
left, right, down are the same. The rest are all
|
|
different. (except for control-g of course)
|
|
|
|
(*note: the up control character is ^K (just like the arrows))
|
|
|
|
The Future: You'll be using your mouse pretty soon if Greg keeps
|
|
this up. Learn to use these radical terminal emulations,
|
|
you'll find boards can and will be MUCH better.
|
|
|
|
The First: The first board in the world supports mousetext/ProTERM
|
|
special emulation.

Thank you very much, this is very important. Would you like to use mousetext
|
|
and the sound generator in your system? I will release a text file soon with
|
|
all the compatible control characters.

ProTERM special emulation is powerful): Ralph Kramden

And the person on line while I figured it out: Sound Wave, thanks for the
|
|
moral support. (haha)
