- ATTENTION RBBS USERS!
-
- Here is a modification that will solve the case of the missing Line Feed.
-
- Typically when a SYSOP is in the CHAT mode, drops to DOS, and returns to
- the CHAT mode, he no longer has Line Feeds displayed on the CRT. This
- happens because of a problem in ANSI.ASM. I have added a few lines of
- code to add a line feed to a carriage return when the variable STRNG$
- ends with a carriage return or a single carriage return is passed
- to the ANSI subroutine. If a line feed is passed along with a cariage
- return the modification will not add a line feed.
-
-
- I have provided a Basic program that will demonstrate the problem.
-
- 1. Compile GARRY.BAS.
- 2. Link GARRY.OBJ and the old ANSI.OBJ (ANSI1-6.ASM). Call it GARRY1.EXE
- 3. Link GARRY.OBJ and the new ANSI.OBJ (ANSI1-7.ASM). Call it GARRY2.EXE
-
- Now run GARRY1 and watch what happens.
- Then run GARRY2 to see the results of the added line feed.
-
-
- I hope this modification helps!

- The following BASIC code will test the new changes to ANSI.ASM.
- GARRY.BAS should be included in this .ARC.

- ' This program written to test the ANSI driver used by RBBS.

- ' It will confirm that my modification to ANSI.ASM will in fact
- ' add a line feed to a single carriage return when sent to the
- ' ANSI subroutine.
