  • Testing ASCII mode

    From bcw142@21:1/145 to All on Monday, July 08, 2019 20:32:10
    Checking that ASCII mode is really ASCII. It's not totally, there are graphics characters above as I'm typing this, but it is mostly ASCII and no colors and few other things to make screen readers go crazy. It at very least is more screen reader friendly. Oddly I'm using putty (v70) to do this ssh'd in to the BBS using the ASCII setup selected on the way in. I can also do UTF-8 if I want graphics here (Mystic translates UTF-8 to show CP437 correctly).
    This is a basic line editor with all the limitations of that (line at a time), little editing, no spell checking...
