From: ILLUSIONIST To: PHILSCHERER
Well, this is a guess, and for the record I dont even have OS-9000
but here goes..
For the most part, I’d say you need G-windows for OS-9000 to do any
real heavy graphics stuff..but for simple stuff, I think all you would
need is a C lib. function to do it, if Mware hasnt included such a thing
then I would be willing to say that they havent included provisions for
it with OS-9000, they do offer a package called QD Menu Maker or some
such thing, that will allow you to make color text based GUI’s that
you see painted on the face of many DOS apps…I suppose the best way
to do graphics stuff with OS-9000 would be to get Gwindows, the next best
would be to launch a DOS session and use a DOS based programming language
-* Mike
BTW, have you checked the manual for any kinds of screen codes that could
be sent like on the CoCo ? I doubt it is possible without some external
stuff like QD menu maker or Gwindows, although, you COULD probably write
routines to manipulate the video card yourself…

The /term device in OS9K is an ANSI device. So the ANSI codes to
change the colors are what you need to use.
Lessee, I got that info around here somewhere, let me go looking …
Here is a file you might want to capture and save:
Villanova University
Campus Computing – Terminal Emulation
Includes VT100 and VT52 Terminal and Control Codes
This file contains control and terminal codes for the VT100 terminals,
ANSI terminals, and VT52 terminals. Many of the codes were derived from PC -
INTERCOMM, from Mark of the Unicorn Software. I have researched some of them
and added some of my own.
Thank you,

ANSI MODE SUMMARY:
—————–
*In ANSI sequences, parameters are given as a string of ASCII digits
(’0′ – ’9′) seperated by semicolons. Pn refers to a number whose value
used directly. Ps refers to a number used as a selector.

LINE SIZE:
———
The following is a list of the available styles of printing on the
screen. “Yes” in any column means that the option is supported by the escape
code on that line. “No” means that the option is not supported by the escape
code on that line; however, it may, and almost certainly is, supported by
another escape sequence. Double height and double width double the size of the
characters in their respective ways (ie. Double height is twice as tall as
usual). _Line designates underlining. Blink is for blinking characters. Side
is the orientation of the character. Normal means that there is no orientation.
Top and bottom refers to the position of the character in order to make a
complete character. The top and bottom sequences will be important if you use
the double height option. You will need to print the line twice to get a
complete line. The first printing will print the top part of the characters and
the second printing will print the bottom part. Inverse refers to the condition
of the character. “No” indicates that the character will be printed in the
color it normally is printed in with its usual backround. “Yes” means that the
character will be printed in the backround color and the character’s backround
will be the color it is usually printed in. Shade refers to the brightness of
the character. Normal is the standard brightness of the character. Bright is
bold type. Dark is a darker brightness than usual. The escape code is the
command you would type before the text you want to print to get the indicated
effects. This section was greatly expanded in version 1.1 of this file.

* Some codes have been eliminated due to a repitition of effects. To the best
of my knowledge, these codes are complete and correct. If you should find
any errors, or you find some new sequences/effects, please inform me.
*#3 and #4 behave in the same way as #3(3m and #4(4m.

NON – VT100 CONTROL SEQUENCES:
—————————–
*Some VT100 terminal programs also understand a few other escape
sequences than the standard VT100. I cannot guarantee any of these
non – standard codes will work with any particular terminal, but they
may be useful if they do work.
Transmit a file Esc { T filenameCR —> CR = Carriage Return
Receive a file Esc { R filenameCR —> CR = Carriage Return
Append to a file Esc { A filenameCR —> CR = Carriage Return
Save collected text Esc { S
Save collected text Esc S
* These sequences will probably be most useful in developing a micro
version of a VT100 emulator or in adapting an existing one.

Thanks a lot for the great info file Zack–I feel like I did when I first
started learning OS9 on the Coco years ago!

From: PHILSCHERER To: ILLUSIONIST
Thanks for the reply Mike–I’m sure it has the capability because the
config menus spout color. There just isn’t anything like cgfx yet or any
window descriptors like the Coco. I’ll keep diggin. I’m sure there’s a way
since the MW folks do it and OS9000 is written in C.
