Henry Baker is screaming for for this - probably is trying to do
a kind of EMACS under lisp. Here is something he asked me the other
day - do you have any ideas?
I desparatly need some way of doing image mode output on the TTY! Re-opening
the tyo file in image mode and re-ttyconsing doesn't do the actual image thing
on TOPS-10. The right monitor call to use is:
TTYCALL 15,char
for image mode (it outputs an 8 bit character "char"). This mode is called
"IONEOU" in the tops-10 manual. Therefore, one can say:
IONEOU char
instead. For reference, the standard way to do character outtput on tops-10
is:
TTYCALL 1,char
Since this is called "OUTCHR", one can also say:
OUTCHR char
instead. IONEOU sends the low 8 bits (and ignores high bits), while
OUTCHR sends the low 7 bits (and ignores high bits).
