- The name of this document is BLIND.DOC. It can be found in the DOCS
- directory of Terminate.
-
- This file contains only information for people that cannot see.
-
- Because we got a lot of personal requests from blind people, we decided
- to create a few extra features which will help you to use Terminate even
- faster and more easily than any other terminal program we know.
-
- Most of you use some kind of speech device which only can detect BIOS
- writes. Terminate will use direct screen writes in menus and BIOS calls
- in terminal mode. You can choose to use BIOS calls all the time.
-
- If you select Blind Support under installation the following will be
- selected:
-
- Sound is turned on giving you a sound when popping up or down a window
- Key click is turned on giving you a click every time you press a key
- Only menus will use direct screen writes
- Cursor will be forced on all the time so your helper can see the cursor
- All sounds are turned on
- Passwords will not be hidden
- No automatic passwords will be generated
- The Blind Transfer window will be used for transfering files
- The File Manager will default to only one window
- Some extra sounds have been added
- In submenus all the background windows will be removed before showing
- the new window.
-
- With blind support enabled, Terminate will always turn on the cursor so
- if you have a helper he/she can tell you if the cursor position was
- wrong and ask me to correct the error. This function also allows you to
- press CONTROL ENTER and then move the cursor. This will move the cursor
- position to the first position in the helpline at the bottom of the
- screen, allowing you faster speech access. If no help is found in a
- menu, when the menuline selector is used, then a beep will be played:
- high tone, low tone.
-
- To make things easier when transferring files, instead of the normal
- full screen file transfer menu yours have been cut down to the actual
- information you need. A sample picture is shown below. This window
- starts at 1,1 upper left corner and the cursor is placed just before the
- bytes transferred.
-
- The menu looks like the following lines:
-
- ╒════════════╡ Blind transfer ╞╕
- │ Filename DANBBS.ARJ │
- │ Filesize 2153297 │
- │ 75% 8192 │
- │ CPS │
- │ H Hangup No S Skip file │
- ╘══════════════════════════════╛
-
- Menu finished.
-
- Line 1: The name on the file.
- Line 2: The size of the file.
- Line 3: How many percent and how many bytes that are transfered.
- Line 4: Chars per second, speed of transfer.
- Line 5: S for skipping the rest of file, h for hanging up after transfer.
-
- The message reader for Terminate is called TerMail. When starting up
- this editor you could give the parameter /BLIND to enable special sounds
- and features. If you call up TerMail from Terminate Alt-F7,L then this
- parameter will automatically be added if blind support is enabled.
-
- In the filemanager you can press Q for Quiet, which will disable the
- entire left side and make it easier to view the files.
