Ann Arbor terminals were nice. Sat in front of an Ann Arbor Ambassador
for many years, the major benefit 48 or 60 lines on screen. Using a
typical 24-line terminal for programming felt like being crippled in
comparison.
I am considering expanding KED / KEX under RT-11 to handle
up to 60 lines. Would anyone be interested?
Under the DOS versions of Ersatz-11 in FULL SCREEN mode,
some video controllers support up to 50 lines by 80 columns and
a few support 44 lines by 132 columns.
Under the Win32 versions of Ersatz-11, a switch can be used:
"/CONSIZE:WxH"
to select any arbitrary screen size.
I don't think that anyone else uses RT-11 any more except to
run the hardware. I certainly don't hear of any software
being written.
