VIC-to-VIC/VIC-to-
ASCII
—
Most computers
create characters
according to a
standard
set
of codes called ASCII.
Com-
modore's computers use a
slightly different set of codes.
VICTERM I
translates this different
"language" from other
computers as
well
as
giving you the full range of
graphics and
sound
when communicating
VIC to VIC. When on the second
menu press V to
transmit or rec
eive,
from
a
Commod
ore
computer. Any
other computer requires VIC to
ASCII, select A.
3. 2
Color Option
—
To improve
readability, we have made
it
possible to display
characters you send in one
color and the
characters you receive
in another color. Select the 2 color
option
by
hitting the 2 key, while the second menu
is displayed.
To cancel this
feature press the 2 key again.
4.
Format End of Line
—
Words that run past
the end of the line on
the screen
normally appear fragmented,
partially on one line
and partially on
the next. By selecting format end of
line,
any
words that would have
been broken up are moved
entirely
to
the next
line, this makes text
more readable.
Select the format end
of line
by
hitting f, and to
cancel the
choice press F again.
