I don't know how often he frequents the OS-9 forum but he does check his mail every few days. Looking at your message, it sounds like you have an older version of the VGAKBD driver. I assume you're using the termcap stuff I sent you. From shell, try the following - 'echo \1b[7m' This turns reverse video ON 'echo \1b[27m' This turns reverse video OFF If these don't work, try the following - 'echo \1bj' This turns reverse video ON 'echo \1bk' This turns reverse video OFF If the first pair don't work and the latter pair do, go into your termcap file and change the entries accordingly. This also tells you you have an older version of the VGAKBD driver. I added the ANSI sequences a couple of years back. But I don't know when Fred started to distribute the new code with the boards he sells. BTW, the new driver still supports the old sequences. If you have the older driver, you can ask Fred for the new driver or, I can send it to you if Fred OKs it.

I have been trying to find these for os9 for some time I have view 4.4 and Viewgif and they will dogif to VEF and MGE but.. I need something to go to RLE I did not hear a response on this topic therefore I can only assume that you do not have a clue. Does anyone else know where I can find such a utility? Or at least knows how to write one? If the latter I need the specs of VEF file format, and the specs of all RLE file formats. Opps! I forget Tabs do NOT work on this system RATS! I also am scalping around for programs for basic09 to support termcaps. I downloaed one from here awhile ago called tcap.ar but It used named pipes for Os9 Level 2 or was it Osk? I could modify it I guess. I also used to have a utility that would allow the easy modfification of the ttytype file that sat in my /dd/SYS dir and during a HD crunch My files got axed when the backup floppies containing many newer files got trashed. I am sorry for the muck up on the VEFio.ar program. That was an oversigh on my part I shall have to be more carefull in the future.

You may have found a problem with the utilities I use to archive files as the only vefio I have is what I uploaded. However, included in that .AR file is what claims to be version 2. Have you tried that? What's the advantages of 1.6 over 1.3? Perhaps Rom Lammardo will see this thread and upload the latest and greatest.

I only came up with the same things you have. You can go RLE -> VEF but not the other way. Perhaps one of the graphic experts that are online (Mike Haaland comes immediately to mind) will have a suggestion. > I need the specs of VEF file format, and the specs of all RLE file I've uploaded VEFFRM.TXT to LIB 10. That may help with the VEF question. I've seen a file on the RLE format perhaps in one of the GRAPHICS forums. Have you looked there? > Incidently I see you have lists of other off-line files that list > names and uploaders but no descriptions.

I'm afraid those listings without the descriptions are all we have for information. Perhaps if you list the file names you're interested in, someone may recall what they do. *- Steve -* There is 1 Reply. #: 19269 S10/OS9/6809 (CoCo) 06-Nov-93 20:16:51 Sb: #19264-wrong vefio file Fm: Michele Dalene 72652,2765 To: Steve Wegert 76703,4255 (X) Mike Haaland is Also on Delphi If I am correct. but I will look at those filels you did move up to Dl-10. as for the vefio.ar goof? Take a look at your offlin.lzh file and you will see VEFIO.ar mentioned by two different uploaders with two different dats and totally different descriptions. The Vefio 1.6 added additional options as specified in your offlin.lzh file. Some of them looked like fun. As for the mysterious off-linners with no Descripts...

If my memory serves me correctly, that version looked for a file 'vdu' in the cmds directory. Using the utility 'decvdu', decode 'vdu' and change the appropriate codes. Then use 'setvdu' to put it in the form SCULPTOR wants it. Make sure you put it back in the cmds directory.

I have already created the required file with the proper and known to work codes and run it thru setvdu. For some reason the screen is not cleared. Cursor motion and standout is working. I have even tried ^Z which GWindows also recognizes as clear screen. Bob Press !>
