- QTERM has it, and shows how to implement it.
- You will also need the P.D. assembler and patcher pointed at in the QTERM
- documentation. QTERM and these are on SIMTEL20.
- Very easy to implement even for a person like me with limited assembly
- practice.
- QTERM traps each keystroke, branches to some space where you can play, and
- has a mechanism to let the rest of the program know if the stroke has to be
- passed out to the comm. port right away, or be deferred, or be followed by
- more stuff.
- Actually that's how a QTERM user would simulate a VT100 keyboard for example.
- If you know a little bit of Z80 assembly you will remap your keyboard in less
- than 2 hours with a slow diskette system (testing faster with a HD of course).
- David Goodenough (no error here I hope) thought about you when writing QTERM.
