[Coco] NITROS9 internal question on serial output control

[Bill Pierce]

Gene, the scred instructions are in the Nitros9 wiki under documentation. They are bundled in with the RMA/RLink manual uner the "NitrOS9 Level 2 Development System" under "Screen Editor"

That
sounds a lot like Dynastar. But DS has this strange requirement that 
it can
only go fwd in a file, and any save operation actually cycles 
thru the whole
file, re-writing it in its entirety just to fix the name 
spelling in the first
line of the file.  It was quite good at that, but 
I wore out several floppy
drives with it back in the day, and was quite 
bored of the whole thing by the
time I got a prompt back.  Scred, like 
DS and TSedit, has a completely strange
to me control key sequence, 
(although TSEdit/vi, now vim on my system, I have
pretty well mastered) 
so to run sled, another different critter, I have to
print a fresh copy 
of the help card & tape it over the monitor every time. 
Scred I have 
not found a help file for, so its not been actively used
here.

AFAIK, its still available on my web page, help yourself. I see there is

also a scredfix.ar, which I haven't looked at in yonks.  Might be a fix 
to use
/dd instead of /d0.  The fact that its an .ar might be confusing 
since there
have been at 3 revisions, not always backwards compatible.  
That patches header
says +AR0.0+ so thats the original ar I believe.

I just drug out my copy of the
level2 devel book, and the scred 
instructions are about 1/8" thick.  They are
NOT on the disks.

If interest, and I don't believe anyone else has done this, I
have now 
scaned and and will post them as scanned, jpg'd images.  I've tried to

OCR some of this before but its spelling mistakes are pretty rampant, so

posting the images at a 300 dpi scan is probably best. At 300 dpi, they 
should
scale up to full 8.5x11 paper quite well.  For those on tight 
budgets, page 30
starts the "quick reference" which should get you 
started, and the last 6 pages
are the index.  Blank pages were omitted 
on purpose.

Done, now to move them to
the web page & make them visible.  Give me 10 
minutes for that please.


Cheers, Gene Heskett
