GEM TERM version .9

1987 by Paul Chinn.  
Gem-Term is free...give it out all over the free world.

Gem Term is a handy little ACC that gives you a simple terminal
program.  While it doesn't have as many features as other terminal 
programs, Gem-Term has the distinguishing feature that it has its own 
window, and can be run right on the desktop, or from within any 
other GEM program.  This means you can be running a word processor, 
doing file stuff or even playing a game and instantly have access to a 
terminal program at the same time.  

Useage:

Gem-Term is extremely simple to use.  Make sure that TERM.RSC is 
on the same disk as GEMTERM.ACC and boot up your system.  To open 
Gem-Term, go to the DESK menu and select the Gem-Term option.  A 
window will then open on the screen.  In version .9 the window is 
15 lines high and 80 or 40 colums wide(depending on the resolution 
you are in)  The window can not be resized but can be moved 
around.  When the Gem-Term window is the active window, it 
functions like any other terminal program: typing sends
output to the modem and the modem will output to the screen.  
If the Gem-Term window is active, clicking on the Gem-Term 
accessory slot lets you change the following options:
Baud Rate: toggle between 300 and 1200 baud
Duplex: If you can't see what you're typing switch to Half Duplex.
        If everything you type is double, switch to Full Duplex.
Line Feeds: If the lines of text over write each other turn 
          linefeeds on, else leave them off.

Click OK when satisfied.  If the Gem-Term window was inactive, it 
will be brought to the top.


Gem-Term is my first working program using GEM, and was written 
completely with standard GEM and VDI calls in Megamax C.  Some 
proposed additions in the future are:

-function key macros
-multi tasking auto dialer
-capture buffer
-more control over RS232 settings
-re-sizable window
-Vidtex support
-file transfer capabilities
