I will also send it directly to anyone who requests it. It is about 39K bytes. ------------ ACSTERM is a terminal emulator for the Atari 800, 800xl, 1200xl, 130xe. It provides cursor motion, insert, delete, etc. The 'termcap' file tells UNIX systems how to manipulate your screen. With 'more' and screen editors like 'vi', this does near the best that can be done with a 40 column screen. The tilde and curly brace characters are provided using a redefined character set; ^M etc. have their usual ascii meanings. ACSTERM was written by Clint Parker, author of the Action system. All sources are in the Action language. As downloaded from the bbs he maintained, you must use the Action cartridge. Here there is also a modification that compiles with the run-time library to make an executable file that needs no cartridge. NB! R-Verter owners: The RHAND1C modem handler converts tilde and brace characters. Since they provide the source, I deleted those parts. I also cured occasional glitches it had running full tilt at 9600 baud, and improved its handling of S/Reset. As that software is copyright, I can't upload my version. However I am willing to upload a 'diff' file that shows the changes I made. These are the files: TERM.DOC read this TERMCAP.ACS get this into your UNIX TERM.AC0 Compile this file. TERM1.AC0 these files will TERM2.ACT be INCLUDEd TERM.AC2 My modifications TERM1.ACT of TERM, TERM1. BLKIO.ACT CIO caller and fast I/O. I wrote an XMODEM module but never got it integrated into ACSTERM. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is an archive made with the UNIX utility 'ar'. Its first line is: ! For some reason the ! causes 'more' to think it's not an ascii file; but 'cat file | more' works, as does vi. If you don't have 'ar', split it with a text editor. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bruce Langdon L-472 langdon%lll-lcc@lll-crg.ARPA Physics Department "langdon#bruce%d"@lll-mfe.ARPA Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Livermore, CA 94550 (415) 422-5444 UUCP: ..{gymble,ihnp4,seismo}!lll-crg!lll-lcc!langdon ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bruce Langdon L-472 langdon%lll-lcc@lll-crg.ARPA Physics Department "langdon#bruce%d"@lll-mfe.ARPA Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Livermore, CA 94550 (415) 422-5444 UUCP: ..{gymble,ihnp4,seismo}!lll-crg!lll-lcc!langdon
