X-Important-Saying: Premature Optimization Is The Root Of All Evil. X-Mailer: Mail User's Shell (7.2.5 10/14/92) To: sam-fans@hawkwind.utcs.toronto.edu Subject: latest sam FYI, I was a pretester of the latest sam & 9term. Before blindly patching in the previous sets of patches, it would pay to note two things. 1) A ``page-up'' key is now suppoted in both samterm and 9term, supplied to the app from libXg as 0x81. I helped graft the one major line from Ed's samx patches into samterm. (This is the biggest win for me personally.) 2) Sam, samterm, and 9term all now do full Unicode/UTF. I *think* this obsoletes the latin1 part of Ed's samx patches. The other things (scrolling menus etc) haven't changed, so I'm not saying that the patches aren't needed, just that two big things aren't needed anymore... (I'm also one of the people who keeps getting hit w/the protocol bug. sigh.) It's a lot of fun to type alt-1-2 and get B= (b:) [ Install the unicode fonts and then look at this note (and pray no high bits get stripped) ]. Arnold
