kipperterm 2 in development

jonnosan · **Posted:** Fri Jul 30, 2010 8:26 am

I've started working on a new version of kipperterm, the first big change is it will be a stand alone (disk based) prog only, I'm no longer targeting the 64NIC+ cartridge. That means the code can be more than 16KB in size.

What I have added so far is a disk based 'address book', in which you can store all your favorite telnet and gopher links

My long term wishlist includes these, but would be happy if anyone has some code they are willing to share:
- punter c1 protocol transfers
- scrollback buffer
- capture session to log file on disk

Anyone interested in being a beta tester?

I can help you test it.

Any chance of a soft-80 column mode?

In theory, yes, assuming I can steal the code from somewhere.

In fact I was hoping it would be as simple as loading one of the existing tools per viewtopic.php?f=5&t=433

I tried the 80Columns.prg from http://www.zimmers.net/anonftp/pub/cbm/ ... index.html but it didn't work - not sure why yet.

Here's a d64 with work in progress
kipperterm2.prg is the main prog
abe is the Address Book Editor (run seperately)
80columns is the 80 columns driver - you can try to run it before running kipperterm2 but as I said it didn't work for me

Thank you for this program. I always love to see new c64 networking software.

If 80 columns is not possible, what about word wrap? Basically, if a word goes past the 40th column, just cut and paste the word back to the beginning of the next line.

Great to see somebody picking up the C64 Telnet glove and bringing it to next decade. This has been needed for years. Especially since GuruTerm never made it to non-beta *ahem* :roll:

About Wordwrap: Good idea but only useful on 80 col BBS's since it would screw up the formatting on 40 col boards. Make sure to make it optional if you do it

Very nice! A few comments...

-ABE seems to load the addresses really slowly - would have expected it be instantaneous on my IDE64. Are you using the kernal routines? Thanks for checking the drive# though ;-)

-Loading the address book within Kipperterm2 defaults to drive #8. I know you can change it, but you can check address $BA for the last drive# (as in the ABE).

-Otherwise, doesn't seem drastically different from V1 yet, so I'm not sure what to test out. VT100 and PETSCII work just fine, as before.

Currently watching the movies on your PETSCIIMATION site. Very cool.
