QTYPE.MAC and QTYPE.M68 written by Tom Faust Software Designs, PO Box 1131, Woodinville, WA 98072, 206-788-6161 This is a sample program using QTYPE.MAC and QTYPE.M68. It's really easy. ; top of program ; type this in VUE and M68 it. SEARCH SYS COPY QTYPE.MAC PHDR -1,0,PH$REE!PH$REU START: QTYPE <This is text _without a CRLF!!_> QTYPESP <This is text _with a trailing space> QTYPECR <This is text _with a CRLF!!> EXIT COPY QTYPE.M68 END Note that QTYPE display always starts in low intensity and is toggled to high intensity with an underline character. Another underline toggles back to low intensity again. The terminal's intensity is left in the "current mode" after QTYPE text. That is to say, if the last character of text in a QTYPE statement is dim (and there is no underline following it) then the next text to be display by any means, such as PFILE, DCVT, etc. will also be output dim. If the last char of QTYPE text is bright then the next output will also be bright. Effective highlighting can be done by outputting dim text followed by bright text such as the following example: QTYPESP <The file is_> ; dim text, left bright DCVT 0,OT$TRM ; output number in D1 QTYPECR <blocks long> In this example, the text "The file is" and "blocks long" would be dim and the number output by DCVT would be bright since the QTYPESP statement ends with an underline, toggling to bright text.
