Re: A89: Internet Link (New language?)
I originally had an idea for a 89 shell when it had first came out. Since many
games then had not been made for it I felt that a shell that could run Fargo
proggrams would be helpful. The problem was with the display being different.
I originaly wanted the shell to use special functions to shrink the screen. You
could use this function or add scrolling support. Then formating doesn't become
a problem. (Also keep in mind that the font size on the 89 is smaller compared
to a computer, so that shouldn't present a problem.
