Re: Border padding is now supported in vDos-lfn

Sprint . . . what was that, back in the day?

Electric Pencil is credited by whoever wrote the article at Wikipedia with
being the first microcomputer Word Processor.



By "Sprint", I take it you are not referring to the cell phone service
company . . . .


Wordstar goes back to the dawn of the PC. (Does it even predate Xy
? Perhaps.)


If old word processors are getting some trace of a second wind, courtesy
of vDos, don't forget about Textra. That was probably the next best word
processor I ever tried, after XyWrite.

> Hi all,
> Per request by Robert J. Sawyer, I have further enhanced the border
padding feature to add the ability to specify a color setting for it in
the latest vDos-lfn build (build 2016.09.02). Now the PADDING directive
(initially named BORDER) accepts an optional second argument which is the
padding color (0-15, default is 0 or black). For example:

> PADDING = 50,1

  For those who don't recognize the name, Robert J. Sawyer
    is a WordStar enthusiast and author of science fiction
    novels.

    Yes VDos--LFN is reviving many old softwares usages.

I expect Sprint to "come back" too.
