UFSL itself uses ca. 21kb of memory... It is PD... The Source is available
(Language= C )... There are also routines for GFA Basic available to
"Talk" with UFSL.

no UFSL... no fontselector...
Here in germany there are some programs who need UFSL to change the Font.
Names?
ST-GUIDE hypertextsystem
DB_POINT newsreader for the D-BOX in Hamburg. The complete
bbs-software and pointprograms are written in GFA (with a
little bit help from assembler routines :-) )
I think, there a much more programs but i didnt know the names...
BTW: There is an program available (FONTSEL) that is only 7333bytes long,
have the same funktion, is 100percent UFSL compatible at it is better. it
was written by Holger Weets.
Where it is available?
Sorry... couldnt give you a good answer... In most MAUSNET-BBSses you can
find it.
