  • ANSI term w/ "doorway mode" ?

    From blakespot@80:774/22 to All on Sun Jun 2 17:01:34 2019
    Is anyone aware of an ANSI terminal program for the Amiga that supports "doorway mode" for boards, like SynchroNet, that sometimes present an ANSI
    menu that needs arrow keys to navigate? Such as Black Flag? Thanks.

    I think JR-Comm has a BBS Door option.

    Yes, JRComm v1.02a has an option called IBM Doorway.
    Not sure if that is what your looking for.

    Yes, it sure does... If I recall correctly I used it back in the day a couple of times.. Not sure what I did with it, but it worked ok.. I should have my registered copies of JR-Comm and Terminus 2.0e First week of November. The Guru
    Meditation will be graciously creating adf files of my disks.. :) Just wish I still had the rest of my Amiga stuff, I recall having a commercial version of Quarterback tools which was a backup program (although I don't need it due to emulation) and a utilities setup for defragging and other things..

    I've still got a large collection of Amiga floppies. I'm waitiing until I can read them on my PC so I can make ADF's out of 'em. Yes, I have a pro version of
    Quarterback tools. :-)

    There is a way of reading them on a PC, it takes 2 floppy drives and
    modifying the code on 1 of them.. I am not going that route. I have 1 floppy and what used to cost $15 now costs $50. Ridiculous if you ask me that a internal floppy drive now costs $50!

    I've got a PC floppy still wrapped in shrinkwrap. I might have another one or two, so can you offer up the instructions to do this? Thanks, Bucko!

    I don't have the instructions on how to do it, but if you google it you will find them.. I read an article a few weeks back when I was trying to find a
    way to convert my Floppies to adf..
