Re: DEC TPU Graphics Within MESSAGE() Function

Volker - as I don't have the resources or skills to port ZMENU to IA64, simply recompiling and ignoring any errors is not an option. As we use this utility on a Production system, I'm already on shaky ground, as it's obviously largely unsupported code.

Hoff - as explained above, I really don't have the required skills to start writing C code.

Re: DEC TPU Graphics Within MESSAGE() Function

I finally came up with the attached TPU code, which seems to be a fairly good replication of the ZMENU/SCROLL functionality, with the advantage of more flexibility on the source list.

I have found a privilege 'feature' with it, but I'll start a new thread on that.

Hopefully this is something I can release to the Freeware CD's, once I'm completely happy with it.

Rob.
