| Yes, I have one that I derived from the MicroEMACS sources. No
comments, but it works.

Use in monochrome only. No telling what will happen if you use it in color.

Jeff, I think these are the same as the ones you gave me about 3 years ago.

| 922.4 | DENSE includes source | PRNSYS::LOMICKAJ | Jeffrey A. Lomicka | Fri Jul 20 1990 17:06 | 10 |
| I thought I searched note 9...
Actually, not that I have DENSE, I'm happy. DENSE includes source...
I'm glad I uploaded it when I did. I did a backup of my hard drive
yesterday morning, wrote DENSE in the afternoon, uploaded it, and in
the evening I totally trashed the Stacy hard drive while trying to
configure a hard drive for my Church to use. I was able to restore my
backup and then download DENSE this morning, so I didn't lose a thing!

| 922.5 | HI50 + NeoDesk | REGENT::LOMICKA | Roy Lomicka | Fri Jul 20 1990 18:34 | 4 |
| I've found that HI50 and HI25 work well with NeoDesk. Using HI50 and
"small font" in NeoDesk, you can see over 100 filenames with size and
date in a less-than-full-size window. It's handy to have HI25, so you
can switch back without rebooting. Does DENSE have a companion UNDENSE?

| 922.7 | DENSE.PRG in color | REGENT::LOMICKA | Roy Lomicka | Thu Aug 30 1990 18:46 | 20 |
| RE: .1 "No telling what will happen if you use [DENSE] in color."
DENSE.PRG works in color. Since the color font is already the "dense"
one, running DENSE once changes the font to the monochrome one, and gives
you 12 rows of huge characters instead of the 25 rows of normal-sized
characters. The extra 1/2 row of unused screen space occurs at the
bottom of the screen. Running DENSE again changes the font back to
the normal one. Since the ST emulates the Digital VT52, this 12-line
mode constitutes an emulation of a *VT50*! Yes, Digital once made a
terminal that provided only 12 rows of characters. That's where the
"2" in "VT52" came from (2 x 12).
The only problem with this is that not many programs can cope with
having only 12 rows of text on the screen. There is a VDI call that
gives rows and columns, or you can dig the information out of the
Line A data structures yourself, so it *is* possible to write programs
that adapt well, and even allow switching fonts on the fly.
I tried modifying DENSE to use the tiny "icon" font, but since the width
of the characters in that font is not 8, characters get displayed incorrectly.
