*** 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.
|
||
|
||
+ MANY NEW CONTROL CHARACTERS HAVE BEEN
|
||
ADDED.. THEY ARE:
