|    SyncTERM users?    |
|    15 Dec 18 12:17:43    |
      Anyone here use SyncTERM for CBM/PETSCII emulation when connecting to C64 or       C128 boards?              If yes, I have a request of you: compare the SyncTERM v1.0 C64 or C128 "screen       modes" with those in the current v1.1b (beta) and let us (the SyncTERM       dev-team) know *which* color representation best reflects what you would expect       to see in a CBM/PETSCII terminal.              Here are some screen shot comparisons (C64 screen mode) if you just want to       peek and comment quickly:       SyncTERM 1.0 screen shot:       https://1drv.ms/u/s!ApZPvWcrEaRQvJl-cu1s0ogYogzkYg       SyncTERM 1.1b (current) screen shot:       https://1drv.ms/u/s!ApZPvWcrEaRQvJl9cli-mEJjXu9k4g              If you're not sure where to get SyncTERM for your own use, v1.0 (the latest       official release) can be found at       https://sourceforge.net/projects/syncterm/files/latest/download              and the current v1.1b can downloaded (or built from source) at       http://syncterm.net/              SyncTERM 1.1b fixes multiple PETSCII (and other unrelated) issues but also       introduces some other new problems you may notice, so it could be good to keep       v1.0 installed/on-hand.              The reason I ask here about the color palette changes in SyncTERM v1.1b is that       SyncTERM v1.0's color representation reminds *me* of my own Commodore BBS days,       but someone suggested that was because I didn't have the brightness adjusted       correctly on my television and the current SyncTERM v1.1b color representation       more accurately reflects the true C64 and C128 color palettes.              The input of experienced/current Commodore users would be appreciated by the       SyncTERM dev-team.              Thanks,              -Rob               digital man              Synchronet/BBS Terminology Definition #14:       CR = Carriage Return (ASCII 13, Ctrl-M)       Norco, CA WX: 74.3øF, 19.0% humidity, 2 mph WSW wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrs       --- SBBSecho 3.06-Linux        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)    |
