Koziarz) Newsgroups: comp.sys.zenith.z100 Subject: How to utilize the information returned by ' i 0' Message-ID: <2677@nosc.NOSC.MIL> Date: 17 Aug 90 13:10:14 GMT Sender: nobody@nosc.NOSC.MIL Reply-To: koziarz@halibut.nosc.mil.UUCP (Walter A. Koziarz) Organization: Naval Ocean Systems Center, San Diego Lines: 21 I need to determine the type of video available in a Z-100 and the escape sequence mentioned in the Subject line ( i 0). I even get the correct response; but IT GETS ECHOED TO THE %$%$^&^$%$ SCREEN. I would like it (make that I *need* it) in a string variable in a C program. This a fragment showing what I'm trying to explain: . . . puts("\033Ei0"); /* zenith identify terminal type */ gets(term_id); /* term_id receives string describing video sys */ . . . [ do some other stuff based upon video RAM size/no of planes ] Any ideas?? Thanks, Walt K.
