Has it not occurred to anybody to take the 4014 serial
drawing stream
as the source?
There are only a few commands there.
I used it to plot roller coasters in a commercial program, COASTER!
Embedding the tek file was much smaller than including 3d graphics, I
just plotted tek 4010 to the screen.
Yes, Randy, it occurred to Tim Shoppa a couple of days ago.
The objection is still the same as it was when he suggested it: it's a
great idea, but ONLY IF you're trying to copy the screen of a serial
terminal. If you're using a self-contained computer like my 4052, or an
analogue storage tube, there's no serial drawing stream to take.
