Some senseless babbling from Mark Arvid Johnson to Mike Ruskai
on 09-26-94  19:05 about VIO on PM...

 -=> Quoting Mike Ruskai to All <=-
 
 MR> A VIO window in the PM has lousy ANSI.  So, is there something
 MR> that will  provide a correct pallette and support blinking
 MR> characters for a PM comm  application?

 MAJ> Unlike VIO, PM dosen't know the first thing about ANSI escape codes.
 MAJ> If you want blinking characters in PM, you'll have to do it the same
 MAJ> way IBM makes the caret blink in a PM window-respond to WM_TIMER
 MAJ> messages...

WM_TIMER?  Is that attached to the cursor blink rate?  It seems to be easy 
enough, I guess.  So there is no need to redraw the screen to make a 
blinking effect like so many others have said?

 MAJ> I've seen MS Windows terminal apps that handle blinking characters
 MAJ> just fine, and Windows deosen't have any kind of "VIO"
API. If it can
 MAJ> be done in MS Windows, it can be done better in OS/2!

That's precisely the logic I was using :)
