I think the charset should include ASCII and then extended chars should try to maintain a fair (but not strict) compability with terminal fonts like the DOS font, with added new chars that make textdrawing easier. Perhaps it could even be programmed so some chars are dynamic .. ie they alter acording to what the GUI wants to do .. very useful if you want to display a moving cursor that is not just a big blinking block ..

In VGA graphics mode you then get 16x8 pixel chars, 80x30[2] of them filling 640x480 pixel screen. [1] This is why multiple of the "chequered flag" >128 character next to each other look so funny (either every 8th pixel duplicated, or vertical space after every 8 pixels, depending on your video card). [2] You may also want to look at using the 80x30 mode, as it gives 5 more lines. 80x50 text is usually too squashed, making art distorted. > We will use ASCII 32..127, and mabe some other special characters >127, we > will deside later Only with <128 is it an ASCII-OS, else it is an PC473-OS. :-) > .------------------------. > | AsciiCommander [X]| > |------------------------| > |File|Command|Help | > |------------------------| > |C:\union\src\>_ | > | | > |________________________| > |files 152 | > '------------------------' Botton left corner change to: ` character. > .-----------------------------------------. > '-----------------------------------------' Tip: leave away the 2 lines, just split with |, looks more elegant: [START] | I Sys | ACmd | | I 09:00 And you have 2 lines more for user data.

Looks good so far. But why limit to 80x25. There are still graphics modes
(and of course 80x50). You could use graphics modes with even more
characters.

Hey.
Yes, you can be one of beta-testers, the only
thing you must do is write an e-mail to raf256.

hm did i understand right? you will code an ascii os?
will you make it in textmode or make use of graphics mode to display
far more characters per row and column? that would make it easier and
give less limitations no?

I know they were selectable > in Word 5, but only if you'd chosen graphics mode instead of text. 80x30 today usually ist VGA 60x480 graphics. But one can set up text mode to work with that resolution. 80x43 is/was EGA (remember that one?) high density text mode. 640x344 pixel and the CGA 8x8 character matrix, wasting 6 lines. EGA used an 640x350 monitor, standard was 80x25 with 8x14 charcter matrix. -- Neil Franklin, nei...@franklin.ch.remove http://neil.franklin.ch/ Hacker, Unix Guru, El Eng HTL/BSc, Sysadmin, Archer, Roleplayer - Intellectual Property is Intellectual Robbery

Up there is a little icon I just thought of :)
Also, what do you think the chances are for anyone anywhere outside of
this newgroup bothering to make prog for it? I made a q3 symbol just
incase id go crazy and decide to choose AsciiOS instead of all the
