Terminals...

First of all, you assume that termcap can actually do this stuff, which it cannot. Termcap have no clue about user defined fonts. Termcap is rather limited in some ways. There are plenty of things I can do with a terminal that cannot be done properly within termcap. But even adding the word "termcap" here, is making a big assumption about my software. In fact, my software is not using termcap, so adding information to the termcap database would not help at all. Even assuming this is a Unix system is making a mistake. It is, in fact not. And, when all that is said and done, do you really think that the tektronix terminals aren't already in the termcap database? In fact, they are... (as are just about any terminal you ever never heard of) And to make a long story short - the software I'm talking about is my Z-machine implementation, written in MACRO-11 for RSX, RT-11 and RSTS/E. It can (should) handle all V1 to V8 games, but it do not handle sound, nor full graphic games. All the rest should be fine, and it should work with most any terminal, although some fancy stuff is not possible with simple terminals. If anyone wants to take it for a test drive, just telnet mim.update.uu.se, log in as guest/guest, and when you have logged in, type ZEM <game>, or ZEM /LI (to list which games there are). And this is a publicly available RSX system. Johnny
