PD terminal Source
I need to find the source to a barebones Amiga terminal program. I've got
the source to a fairly fancy one, but don't have the time hack out all the
unwanted features. (chat mode, status window, debug mode, multi-download
protocal ect.) I'm also not a competent enough Amiga progammer to write the
required program from scratch. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.
I'd like to use the Amiga as a graphics terminal for the Stratus computer
that my company uses. (A stratus is a fault tolerant mini-computer, consisting
of a bunch of 68020's glued together in a big box that can heat a fair sized
room). So far, I've defined the Amiga to the Stratus system, so that the
primitive screen handling it expects a terminal to have is present. I've added
what I call a graphics escape sequence to the fairly fancy PD terminal program,
so that programs runing on the stratus can draw boxes, circles, lines and text
(at odd places on the screen) on my Amiga. I showed my boss some pie charts
generated on the Stratus, but displayed directly on the Amiga, and he just
about broke a door down signing the purchase order so I can have an Amiga in my
office at work. (He obviously didnlt think on what will happen to my
productivity with a FUN computer on my desk) Oh well, I ramble…I've added as
much code to the fairly fancy terminal program as I dare. It was large and
unwieldly to start, and I'd like to start over, with something a bit simpler as
a base.
