I have written a new client based on a VMS platform, It uses smg screen
functions, It has the following features:
+ Two language instructions (Hebrew/English), Hebrew can easily be replaced
with any other language
+ better error messages.
+ Search capability within documents: enter search term, scrollbar
jumps to match and match is highlighted; repeat as desired.
+ Telnet bug is fixed, telnet report password and username - user%pass@node).
+ Vms can write/append to file.
+ Error message when fail to connect source (before - in vms, if failed to
reach a server than the session was stacked)
+ Better navigation within a document (can move +/- n screen or lines with in
a document), The line number and screen number are displayed at the bottom
of the screen
+ the "go ftp", "go gopher", "go news:" are commands, the user need only to
enter the ip name or news group name
+ The f7-f20 function keys are used as hotkeys (f7 - Back, f8 - home, f9 - help
f10 - ps, f11 - move (navigate within a document), f12 - other (other
commands such as direct ftp,news ...), f13 - next, f14-previous, f15 - help
f16 - line mode command style, f17 - change language, f18 - show current
pointer address, f19 - top, f20 - bottom.
+ some minor vms bugs in wwwlib were fixed (bugs in reading news and other)
It is installed in vms.huji.ac.il (username : www) choose 2 (vt220+)
you need a vt screen to get the best result.
I will release the first public version in july.
