Novaterm 9.6 User's Guide
If you are running a
C128 in 64 mode, and if you have an 80-column
RGB monitor, you have the option of using the C128's 80-column
screen. You can choose a display with 25, 28, 43, or 50 lines. If you
choose 28-line or 50-line mode, you may need to enter terminal mode
later and adjust your monitor to bring all the lines onto the screen.
If you can't use the C128's 80-column mode, just select "Give me
the
regular screen".
If you are running a C64, this option will not be presented to you.
1.1.6 Specifying colors and fonts
If you did not or were not able to select a C128 80-column screen
above, you are presented with the following options to configure
Novater's bitmapped 80-column mode.
The next item allows you to set the default screen colors. Pressing
RETURN repeatedly on any of the three options toggles through the 16
colors.
After the screen color menu, the configuration program asks you to
choose between two types of 80-column printing styles. Choose
whichever is easier to read. The "normal" font has characters three
pixels wide, which may be hard to read but do have space between
them. The "wide" font has characters four pixels wide, which may be
easier to read but are crammed together because there is no space
between each character.
The following item allows you to choose a color combination for 80-
column mode from a predefined set of choices. Choose the one that is
easiest for you to read.
1.1.7 Specifying device settings
If you have more than one disk drive, you are asked to specify which
device should be used for the following operations (see section 4.7.2,
Device settings):
* File transfers (uploading and
downloading)
* Buffer file copy operations
* Printer and secondary address
1.1.8 Specifying the memory device
Finally, the configuration program asks you to specify a memory
expansion device for the buffer, if you have one.
