I think that at the time, AVIO was meant to be something a little more (not a lot, but a little) more than just a VIO space that shows up under PM. In particular, they allow relocatable coordinate origins (VioSetOrg() ) which aren't supported for VIO. This makes the exact meaning of coordinates in the space uncertain (e.g. 0,0 in the space could very well be invisible) so supporting cursor positioning in the ANSI support might not behave as intended - every where else that cursor coordinates show up,the coordinate convention is easily taken care of by the calling code, but to change them in an ANSI stream would require parsing the stream. Of course, they could have included support for cursor positioning with the requirment that the origin be (0,0). Actually, now that I think of it, it's conceivable that they did - all I remember for sure is that when the origin isn't (0,0) (never has been in my code) cursor positioning codes are just swallowed without effect. --- Maximus/2 2.02p1* Origin: Sol 3 * Toronto * V.32 * (905)858-8488 (1:259/414) SEEN-BY: 105/42 620/243 624/50 711/401 409 410 413 430 807 808 809 934 955 SEEN-BY: 712/407 515 628 704 713/888 800/1 7877/2809 @PATH: 259/414 400 99 250/702 3615/50 396/1 270/101 105/103 42 712/515 @PATH: 711/808 809 934 |
