Does that include a VT100? Will it also work on ANSI terminals with more than 24 lines and / or 132 columns? A variant of KED under RT-11 can work with ANSI terminals (VT100 compatible) which have more than 24 lines and / or 132 columns. The only difficulty would be to handle extreme examples like 255 lines by 255 columns. While the code can manage, there will not be sufficient memory to hold the screen buffer. Well, that is not quite true - there would be sufficient memory for the screen buffer, but just no memory remaining for anything else like the code and other data. (Amazing - I actually wrote something humorous!) But seriously, up to about 60 lines by about 150 columns, there would not be any difficulties at all. Above that and the code really needs to be changed to request only what the "terminal" actually requires for the screen buffer. Jerome Fine
