Commander X16

I'm trying out BASTERM you can download from Downloads >> productivity apps.....
I customized it for my own personal use... to put in a cursor (non flashing)
I thought I could show voidstar.

I added 2 short lines of BASIC, and are marked with the REM statement so it can be seen. line 70 & 72.

It uses special characters in the print statement ... (reverse on, space, reverse off, cursor left)

It works when you first use it... (Petscii)
It doesn't show in ISO.....

See Basterm in downloads for the feed about this...

There's a joke in there somewhere.

This is The BASTERM terminal program That Voidstar created...
you can download it from Downloads >>> Productivity Apps >>> Basterm....
Im just showing it, as I've personalised it, for my own use...


Hi... I have just made some additions to BASTERM

**** I have given it a status bar at the top..
**** given it a type of cursor in PETSCII in a addition to ASCII

Still have to fix it up a bit... is still rough to what I plan...
At the moment, you have to choose a 80 column screen mode. I would like to add CRT-SAFE screen mode....
ummmmm....

I'd like to keep playing with it, so eventually the status bar would be at the bottom with screen buffering....

I guess I have a plan to access a window of banked RAM for that...
I will have to calclulate where the cusor would be, so I can access the banked ram...

But that's a bucket list Item... I'm going away for a few days... so Im putting up what I have now...



Best Regards
Shaun Christian....

Ive deleted the previous files; this is the newest version of the program....
