Odd.... Promlink works with the 29B, and it's available for free download at several places on the net. I'm not sure promlink supports the unisite, but I'm thinking it does... Jay

I was just setting up Tera Term Pro on my windows box (talk about overkill - 1.4Ghz and 768MB to run an ascii terminal!) and was configuring the colors, and realized I always fiddle around with the RGB values until they look right. I always create one config for amber on black, and another for green on black (I'm moody and sometimes use one, sometimes another). Are there "standard" RGB values for Amber and Green monochrome monitors, or did each manufacturer make them different? What color schemes do you use? How about terminal emulators? Jeff

My recently released Wang 2200 emulator does exactly that when you configure it to use the true bitmap font (vs. a system native font) for rendering the display. Luckily the active part of the character cell is surrounded by enough inactive padding pixels that I can carry out the blurring convolution and store it in the character bit map and then just blit these preconvolved character images to the display. This is less than perfect in two ways: first, this is only true for filter kernels of 3x3 or less. Second, the cursor underbar is as wide as the character cell (not just the active part) so they should affect adjacent character cells. I just ignore that little problem. The emulator also has realtime brightness and contrast controls. I thought about adding a focus knob as well, which would modify the filter kernel, but I decided to keep things simple for now. If you want to see what it looks like (emulated vs real), click these links (4KB and 93KB respectively): http://home.pacbell.net/frustum/wang_emuscreen.gif http://home.pacbell.net/frustum/wang_realscreen.jpg Look at the cursor on the emulated screen and you will see that it isn't blurred. It could be fixed without any noticable speed hit, but it would take time to code it up and I have more significant things I'd rather work on. Finally, earlier in development when I had added the bit accurate font map, it was painful to look at the screen. The blur really made it much easier to read.

Msot, if not all, CRT data sheets will include a graph of intensity against wavelength for the phosphor, from which it's possible, at least iheory to deduce the colour. How you relate that to the RGB values is another matter... And finding the data sheet for the CRT in a given terminal may well be non-trivial. -tony

I saw that too. I wonder if anyone here local to the sale might be interested in working on a group buy for a "finder's and inconvenience fee." -- ---------------------------------- personal: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Floodgap Systems Ltd * So.

It would be nice, if i could put my hands on one of those ... ... anyone who wants to lineup for me ? Ciao Bernd On Tue, 26 Jul 2005 13:53:25 +0100 (BST), Witchy wrote:
