Re: New vDos and vDos-lfn version 2016.06.01

Wengier,


I think this has more to do with the more recent versions of vdos (didn't you say that cursor speed adjustments are more difficult now?), but it's all or nothing proposition now.  At 16, the cursor is too slow for my taste!   But at 15 it's unusable, because it disappears while in motion.


Of course, this is a very minor issue, overall.

Hi John,

I was able to produce it in Xy3. But this is simply because when you set a very small KEYINTER value, the cursor will move very fast so that it cannot be displayed properly until you release the key. I believe this occurs in vDosXy too when you set a very small INTER value (e.g. 5). Please note that one major change in vDos(-lfn) 2016.06.01 is that the CPU emulation has become notably faster than before, so this becomes more obvious than earlier versions. But of course you can set KEYINTER to at least 16 in the new version so that this issue will never occur with Xy3.

Wengier,

Keyboard speed controls are disrupted in this version.  Any "inter" value of less than 16 causes the cursor to disappear when its in motion (it reappears when the key is released).

Hi all,

Jos has released the new vDos 2016.06.01 today, and I also released vDos-lfn 2016.06.01 today accordingly. This version includes various changes and new features from the previous version of vDos(-lfn), such as a faster CPU emulation, enhanced execution of Windows programs and a brand new print processor. Kari might want to make a new version of vDos-lfn for XyWrite installer as was done with the previous version of vDos-lfn, although I think it may also be a good idea to make a quick test first in order to make sure everything works reliably. The forum thread for vDos-lfn 2016.06.01 is available from:


Sincerely,
Wengier
