ANSI.FONT IS NOT THE SAME ONE AS IN PREVIOUS VERSIONS, AND YOU MUST USE THIS ONE IF YOU WANT IT TO FUNCTION PROPERLY!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU MUST READ THIS!!! VITAL! WARNING! In V1.05 (this version), i added something that is great/deadly. What do I mean? Well... Before this version, I only allowed the user to draw boxes, etc, with the special character sets (mapped to the function keys). This version, I added every ansi character to ansi.font, and put in 10 new character sets. (access them by using right amiga key plus F1-F10) At first, I allowed the user to enter ANY character (ascii 0 - ascii 255), but ran into a big problem: you could actually hit a key that was an ascii return, or an escape. So, in other words, you could write software with this editor! (I prefer a compiler myself... ;-) ) I took out only 3 keys (carriage return, newline, and escape), only because it messed up MrED pictures. I left all others in there, BUT, PAY HEED! USE CHAR SETS 7 AND 8 AT YOUR OWN RISK! I grouped the dangerous characters into the two char sets (right amiga F1 and right amiga f2), and I would stay the hell away from using these characters. Here's why: I did a nifty picture, but when I viewed it with JrComm .95, it crashed it! Some nice pattern that I created was interpreted as a bizarre sequence, and killed my term program! Now, since a logical person sees that most BBS users call in with JrComm, it would be in your best interest to NOT USE character sets 7 and 8 unless you know exactly what you are doing!!! All in all, DON'T USE THESE SETS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
