Hi JoHo! :)   
      
    JH> cjk> machines, kept screen line #25 free for payload and had a mostly   
    JH> cjk> error-free interpretation of AVATAR codes.   
      
    JH> Hmmm ... which part did I miss? I worked closely with Stanislav to get   
    JH> this stuff properly implemented, but maybe I forgot something?   
      
   Aw, I really don't remember fully.   
   But we were excessively doing ANSIs, converted them to .AVTs, and what I   
   remember is that it got it better than Terminate and other AVT capable   
   terminals. Terminate and other programs (ZOC? Telemate?....?) sometimes failed   
   when there were cursor relocation commands, e.g. to force the cursor to a   
   specific location in a login screen and change parts of the screen without   
   redrawing.    
      
   And, it is always related to the ANSI painting program that needs a proper   
   implementation, too. We sysops usually used TheDraw while our ANSI artist used   
   something newer that allowed multi-page-ANSIs.. don't remember that tool's   
   name right now either.. anyway, we had to test all those more complicated   
   screens/parts of screens/animations with multiple terminals.   
      
    JH> Actually, it does mean that. There's a lot of stuff to port, before I can   
    JH> begin adding features. But that time will come.   
      
   No need to hurry, I think.    
   Regarding FD Term, I can only think of one thing anyway, and that is...   
   running it without a config. FD TERM 1 should do. :-D   
      
    JH> Have you tried Janis Kracht's system(s)? Or Mark Lewis?   
      
   No, not yet, but I certainly will.    
   But today, we have general elections, probably the most important elections   
   since 1998. So.. later. :-)    
      
    JH> Have you tried other FOSSILs?   
      
   Not yet either. Strangely, I'm not getting any display errors, only shortly   
   before I enter a BBS I always see a couple of unusual characters. I'll try   
   something else, but I remember with certainty that there was no other FOSSIL   
   as smooth and compatible as ADF. I was running it in DOS windows in OS/2 and   
   Win98 and that worked just fine, very unlike X00 which seemed to invoke a lot   
   of magic with little effect... but I'll try! :)   
      
   Cheers,
