thanks ;)

I'll get around to finishing the next version eventually.. it has some more
stuff in it, including the ability to configure all the colors, etc.
i think it should be able to display a 10 line ansi, it should just scroll it
(or does it give a more prompt?). If i put 10 lines for an ansi, then you'd
either have 10 lines to have the user's name and a liner on the same line (so
a smaller line, that was one of the problems with the old mex version) or
only 5 liners.
another -minor- problem is the fact that my other computer died, (either the
video card, motherboard, or both... :/ ) and that's the one i ususally use
for programming (since this is os/2, and it's also constantly doing
something.. dos programs don't multitask nearly as well as os/2 ones ;) )

well, i'm not the one that created the DECCA language. It's a part of JSdoor
(latest (and probably last) version freq-able as "JSDOOR" (v1.50a)), designed
by John Stephenson. That's what i used for the modem interface, make it
pretty easy. I think the color codes follow mecca, tho i forget.

hmm... i think i meintoned to put the part of the ansi in that prompt. for
example, with:
--------
/
/
----| Login:
\
\
--------
Your login prompt would be " ----| Login:"
If you wanted colors:
RED " ----" YELLOW "|" WHITE " Login:"
It will probably be a pain but it should work.. ;)
