TCT_Local_Control_Interrupts(0) ;
tends to cause keys to be "remembered"
and since I see the clock when loading I take it that you use it.

Hope this helps you since ndoom is really great

OK that's strange, could you try with os 2.0 please, since what runs on 2.0 or 2.1 should also run on 1.7...

EDIT: is your ndless binary 115kb or 113kb big?

Cool!

An idea that might make multiple names easier: Keep using the nwriter.txt.tns name internally, but a small loop during opening and closing the program copies and renames the program. Opening copies the chosen txt file to nwriter.txt, closing copies nwriter.txt to another txt file.

Thanks for the advice.

Not sure how hard that is in pure c though

There is a single problem with it: internally I use a variable called "path" already, since using the "name string" would require, as far as my C goes(that doesn't mean much...) to hard code it every time I use it, witch would not allow any dynamic naming, witch is the opposite of what I want.
But again thanks for trying to help

Ok I think I have it far enough now to call it beta.

to summarise:

-every character of Windows-1252(ansi) is defined and may (if there is no key for it) be written per entering his hex-value while pressing ENTER.
-exeption are control characters, only \t \r \n are defined. (I'm not sure if the others are needed actually)
-you can store up to 900 characters. (if you write more than fits on the screen it's going to look as if he would overwrite the first characters but that doesn't really happen)
-speaking of storing, you can either store it temporary or in a file called "nwriter.txt.tns".
-this file, you can also write on your Pc. Then you have to save it in the same directory as nwriter.tns (hasn't any more to be the root directory)
-by pressing CAT (the key with the book on it) you can invert the color of the screen.

If you write a .txt file on your Pc make sure that your text editor uses \r\n for "enter". (the ones on windows do it "most" of the time)

Tomorrow I will see if my screen recorder still works but for today I'm to tired.

Version alpha-two:

-added lower-case letters and punctuation ( everything under 0x80 ansi is defined even if there is no possibility yet to write it on calc )
-added carriage return and tab

next thing will be something like alt codes for characters for whom there are no "logical" keys;
,that nwriter.tns and the .txt file will not to have be directly under /Documents to work
and that he doesn't react strange to \n after \r.

I have added also a picture of my calc while running nwriter. ( it's a bit blurry I know...)

its normal ansi, if you remove the .tns you can open it with the real notepad or some similar program on your PC

Nice, all we need now is a C Compiler

yea

"Very" long ago I wrote a program in basic with which you could write letters on the graphscreen.
Since I had not to much to do the last week, I ported it to C.

Even with all what I added to the C version there are still some limits for the moment:
-I have just defined the "symbols" for upper-case letters an numbers
-you can only write 53*26 letters

But this you can already:
-deleting the last symbol written
-saving temporary
-saving to a file (for now only to "writer.txt.tns", also writer.tns and the file need to be at the root of your file system (/My Documents) to work as they should)
-reloading from this file (which can as well be written on a Pc, you have only to append a null character and the .tns extension at a regular .txt file)

I will add asap these features:
-code the rest of the characters (lowercase+punctuation)
-saving and reloading from/to different files
-add the possibility to reverse the  screen colour
-make it possible to write more than what fits on one screen
 and to navigate with the arrow keys (or even mouse pointer if it gets accessible)

And if that all goes I may try to add the possibility to format the text a bit, but that could take a while...

So here it is (Source included) what do you think?
