#
#  The following library represents a series of rough functional
#  equivalents to the standard UNIX low-level termcap routines.  They
#  are not meant as exact termlib clones.  Nor are they enhanced to
#  take care of magic cookie terminals, terminals that use \D in their
#  termcap entries, or, in short, anything I felt would not affect my
#  normal, day-to-day work with ANSI and vt100 terminals.  At this
#  point I'd recommend trying iolib.icn instead of itlibdos.icn.  Iolib
#  is largely DOS-UNIX interchangeable, and it does pretty much every-
#  thing itlibdos.icn does.
#
############################################################################
#
#  Requires:  An MS-DOS platform & co-expressions.  The MS-DOS version
#  is a port of the UNIX version.  Software you write for this library
#  can be made to run under UNIX simply by substituting the UNIX ver-
#  sion of this library.  See below for additional notes on how to use
#  this MS-DOS port.
#
#  setname(term)
#	Use only if you wish to initialize itermlib for a terminal
#  other than what your current environment specifies.  "Term" is the
#  name of the termcap entry to use.  Normally this initialization is
#  done automatically, and need not concern the user.
#
#  getval(id)
#	Works something like tgetnum, tgetflag, and tgetstr.  In the
#  spirit of Icon, all three have been collapsed into one routine.
#  Integer valued caps are returned as integers, strings as strings,
#  and flags as records (if a flag is set, then type(flag) will return
#  "true").  Absence of a given capability is signalled by procedure
#  failure.
#
#  igoto(cm,destcol,destline) - NB:  default 1 offset (*not* zero)!
#	Analogous to tgoto.  "Cm" is the cursor movement command for
#  the current terminal, as obtained via getval("cm").  Igoto()
#  returns a string which, when output via iputs, will cause the
#  cursor to move to column "destcol" and line "destline."  Column and
#  line are always calculated using a *one* offset.  This is far more
#  Iconish than the normal zero offset used by tgoto.  If you want to
#  go to the first square on your screen, then include in your program
#  "iputs(igoto(getval("cm"),1,1))."
#
#  iputs(cp,affcnt)
#	Equivalent to tputs.  "Cp" is a string obtained via getval(),
#  or, in the case of "cm," via igoto(getval("cm"),x,y).  Affcnt is a
#  count of affected lines.  It is only relevant for terminals which
#  specify proportional (starred) delays in their termcap entries.
#

#
#  Notes on the MS-DOS version:
#	There are two basic reasons for using the I/O routines
#  contained in this package.  First, by using a set of generalized
#  routines, your code will become much more readable.  Secondly, by
#  using a high level interface, you can avoid the cardinal
#  programming error of hard coding things like screen length and
#  escape codes into your programs.
#	To use this collection of programs, you must do two things.
#  First, you must add the line "device=ansi.sys" (or the name of some
#  other driver, like zansi.sys, nansi.sys, or nnansi.sys [=new
#  nansi.sys]) to your config.sys file.  Secondly, you must add two
#  lines to your autoexec.bat file:  1) "set TERM=ansi-mono" and 2)
#  "set TERMCAP=\location\termcap."  The purpose of setting the TERM
#  variable is to tell this program what driver you are using.  If you
#  have a color system, use "ansi-color" instead of "ansi-mono," and
#  if you are using nansi or zansi instead of vanilla ansi, use one of
#  these names instead of the "ansi" (e.g. "zansi-mono").  The purpose
#  of setting TERMCAP is to make it possible to determine where the
#  termcap file is located.  The termcap file (which should have been
#  packed with this library as termcap.dos) is a short database of all
#  the escape sequences used by the various terminal drivers.  Set
#  TERMCAP so that it reflects the location of this file (which should
#  be renamed as termcap, for the sake of consistency with the UNIX
#  version).  Naturally, you must change "\location\" above to reflect
#  the correct path on your system.  With some distributions, a second
#  termcap file may be included (termcap2.dos).  Certain games work a
#  lot better using this alternate file.  To try it out, rename it to
#  termcap, and set TERMCAP to its location.
#	Although I make no pretense here of providing here a complete
#  introduction to the format of the termcap database file, it will be
#  useful, I think, to explain a few basic facts about how to use this
#  program in conjunction with it.  If, say, you want to clear the
#  screen, add the line,
#
#	iputs(getval("cl"))
#
#  to your program.  The function iputs() outputs screen control
#  sequences.  Getval retrieves a specific sequence from the termcap
#  file.  The string "cl" is the symbol used in the termcap file to
#  mark the code used to clear the screen.  By executing the
#  expression "iputs(getval("cl"))," you are 1) looking up the "cl"
#  (clear) code in the termcap database entry for your terminal, and
#  the 2) outputting that sequence to the screen.
#	Some other useful termcap symbols are "ce" (clear to end of
#  line), "ho" (go to the top left square on the screen), "so" (begin
#  standout mode), and "se" (end standout mode).  To output a
#  boldfaced string, str, to the screen, you would write -
#
#	iputs(getval("so"))
#	writes(str)
#	iputs(getval("se"))
#
#  You could write "writes(getval("so") || str || getval("se")), but
#  this would only work for DOS.  Some UNIX terminals require padding,
#  and iputs() handles them specially.  Normally you should not worry
#  about UNIX quirks under DOS.  It is in general wise, though, to
#  separate out screen control sequences, and output them via iputs().
#	It is also heartily to be recommended that MS-DOS programmers
#  try not to assume that everyone will be using a 25-line screen.
#  Some terminals are 24-line.  Some 43.  Some have variable window
#  sizes.  If you want to put a status line on, say, the 2nd-to-last
#  line of the screen, then determine what that line is by executing
#  "getval("li")."  The termcap database holds not only string-valued
#  sequences, but numeric ones as well.  The value of "li" tells you
#  how many lines the terminal has (compare "co," which will tell you
#  how many columns).  To go to the beginning of the second-to-last
#  line on the screen, type in:
#
#	iputs(igoto(getval("cm"), 1, getval("li")-1))
#
#  The "cm" capability is a special capability, and needs to be output
#  via igoto(cm,x,y), where cm is the sequence telling your computer
#  to move the cursor to a specified spot, x is the column, and y is
#  the row.  The expression "getval("li")-1" will return the number of
#  the second-to-last line on your screen.
