This file describes patches for OS/2 to BEAV 1.33.
The OS/2 version runs only under OS/2 protected mode and supports the
long file names of HPFS (up to 256 characters).It does not use the code
#ifdef'ed MSDOS but instead is based on the UNIX code (in fact, I used
-UMSDOS -DUNIX -DOS2).
It has the follwing advantages over the original MS-DOS version:
- supports *all* extended keys (such as ALT-F, ALT-TAB, ALT-F12 etc.)
- adapts itself to any screen height (windowed command prompts under
OS/2 on a 1024x768 PM screen can become up to 96 lines high).
- uses termcap (termcap.dat is supplied to be placed somewhere where
PATH or INIT point to) and thus provides customizable screen colors
while still having very fast screen output (comparable as if it would
write directly into screen memory).
The following files are new:
patches.os2 The context diffs
makefile.os2 Makefile for this version, for MS C 6.00 or emx+gcc
beav.def The linker definition file for OS/2, MS C 6.00
beav32.def The linker definition file for OS/2, emx+gcc
termcap.c Termcap implementation for OS/2 and DOS
termcap.h (c) Fred Fish
termcap.dat
I would like it if you could integrate the patches into your
distribution.
