|
15 An alternative video screen device driver, which provides a 51
|
|
|
16 column by 24 line display with upper and lower case character sets,
|
|
|
17 can be incorporated into OS-9 with the command:
|
|
|
18 <screen>
|
|
|
19 GO51
|
|
|
20 </screen>
|
|
|
21 This command replaces the normal text screen driver with one that
|
|
|
22 uses high resolution graphics to "draw" the characters. As there
|
|
|
23 are fewer pixels (dots) per character in this mode more characters
|
|
|
24 can be displayed on the screen, albeit with some loss of character
|
|
|
25 definition.
|
|
|
26 </para>
|
|
|
27 <para>
|
|
|
28 Note, however, that the use of a high resolution graphics page
|
|
|
29 means that an extra 6K bytes will be needed in this mode. This
|
|
|
30 extra memory requirement is not normally a problem but in memory-critical
|
|
|
31 applications, such as the C and Pascal compilers, the user
|
|
|
32 can simply avoid the use of GO51.
|
|
|
33 </para>
|
|
|
34 <para>
|
|
|
35 This mode of display has a set of <emphasis>escape sequences</emphasis>
|
|
|
36 (commands) to
|
|
|
37 emulate commercial data terminals. In addition to the video screen
|
|
|
38 driver, GO51 provides a new keyboard driver which features auto-repeat.
|
|
|
39 The keyboard code allocation is the same as described in
|
|
|
40 section 2.4.3 and Appendix D.

|

46 Like the normal 32 by 16 video display functions described in
|
|
|
47 Appendix C the 51 by 24 mode provides many built in facilities to
|
|
|
48 control the display. These functions are activated by the use of
|
|
|
49 the various escape sequences and control characters described below:
