THIS IS A TEST THIS IS ONLY A TEST OF THE EMERGENCY BROADCAST SYSTEM


this is regarding the ongoing exploits of scott weisman and his 80
coluumn vt100 terminal emulator in action.
well, i have isolated the problem as to why my program isn't working. i
still haven't found a solution, though. a description follows:
the character set for the terminal is stored in a byte array 768 bytes
long( at 8 bytes/character and 96 characters ). i do not compress the
chaaracters for simplicity, ease of implementation and speed. besides
the end result will not need the cartrige resident and thus have 8K
freed for buffering. well, as it is, the array refuses to be accessed
beyond the 32nd character(256th byte). i am completely at a loss for
this as the primary index into the array is declared as a card.
can anyone please help in this pursuit for the answer? thank you very
much for your help.

Is there not some restriction about character sets not crossing
a 1k address boundary? Could this be the problem?

well, that is a problem with internal character sets, but since my
program doesn't use an antic character mode it doesn't matter. anyway,
that problem is now licked. i now have new problem -- i can't seeem to
get to do any type of i/o with the serial ports. well, at least input. i
can do output if no input is attempted. i tried some techniques from
john palevich's kermit program(because it's in action)but have had
limited success. so, any answers to this one?
