2716.0. "Colour text (ansi standard) for VT340" by EICMFG::MACDONALD () Fri May 04 1990 12:25

    Firstly, thanks for taking the trouble to read this note...
    I'm not sure if my question falls into the "is / is not what this 
    conference is about" category  but I'm going to risk it!
    Secondly, a brief intro. : 
      Donald MacDonald from EIC (CSS) Munich here - DTN:773-3342.
    My question:
    It concerns the VT340 and the possibility of modifying it to provide ANSI
    colour standard for text (allows e.g. each individual character to be
    displayed with a different colour & script type). We want to prepare a 
    spec. for this modification and I'm "sending out feeders"  to see what work
    has already been done in this area. (Someone told me I might get lucky with
    this conference!!)
    
    Is anyone aware of any efforts past or present in this direction ? 
      
    Also I have been informed that it will take 6 weeks to get the ANSI spec.
    (ANSI 3.64) here in Munich ! - Does anyone know where I could get it
    quicker (perhaps online) ? 
    (I know that (almost?) the same information is available  in the DEC STD
    138  but I have been requested to procure the ANSI standard.)

    Very grateful for any replys,
    
    Donald.

Re: .0

As you suspected, you are asking in the wrong conference.  Try
HANNAH::TERMINALS (KP7 to select).

DECterm (the DECwindows terminal emulator) does support ANSI color text, by
the way.
