Re: [N8VEM: 14588] Re: ParPortProp Terminal Emulation



I believe there is a new video driver on the propeller forum that can do individual character colors if you want to. I've not used it, but it can be done now.

Hi Alex,

The ParPortProp implements a reasonable subset of ANSI terminal emulation.  However, it is not capable of setting individual character colors.  The Propeller video driver, in it's current state, only allows color to be set for an entire line, which is not very useful for terminal emulation.  As you can see, it is used to change the color of the "information" line, but there is no mechanism for setting character colors as you might expect using ANSI escape sequences.

Thanks,

Wayne

I've been happy as a clam with the ParPortProp expansion board.  I've recently been fooling around with a lot of software from the Humongous CP/M Software Archive (http://www.classiccmp.org/cpmarchives/), and I started to wonder what terminal emulation the VGA console does.  I do see on the description that it does 64 colors, but I haven't a clue how to make use of them.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
