Does icy term run on Linux? I'd like to try it. Does anyone have it f dow nload
It's not only running on Linux it's developed there :). I even recommend using linux for that.
I'm willing to help test on any platform.
Heres my newest 'issue' list, but I'm gonna widdle it down before I post to github. :P
Ready????

** - denotes already reported to icy_term github
**Some TOPAZ characters aren't displaying... [take a screenshot WITH the chars,
too.]
icy_term\ doesnt\ show\ some\ AMIGA\ chars\ \(should\ be\ bargraph\ there\).png icy_term\ AMIGA\ TOPAZ\ chars\ in\ syncterm.png
**When shift is held, backspace doesn't work - or, can't get input from two buttons at once.
**Import syncterm.lst or netrunner.phn? [MagiTerm, Muffinterm... supply example phonebook files.]
**Downloads don't start automagically; have to click the icon.
** - Just downloaded pico-8 and it acted perfectly...
**Uploads/Downloads don't end correctly for me; connection hangs and keyboard presses display weird ANSi like characters... both on SSH & TELNET. Have to disconnect to 'fix' - transfers are br0ken.
icy_term\ after\ UL⁄DL\ dont\ get\ back\ to\ bbs...\ bad\ chars\ on\ screen.pn

**After the above 'issue', reconnects dont work either - still in that 'mode' or
- characters dont display/type correctly... still connected in the BG??? or...
**No scrollback buffer???
**4:3 mode? The aspect ratio seems stuck to 16:9 or similar - I'd prefer true CRT/4:3 screen size. [Can't change by dragging; but I'd PREFER a menu options - 16:9 (or whatever it currently is) or 4:3...]
SSH intermittent connect UPDATE; SSH is connecting, but not auto-detecting ANSI so it just sits there. [Video provided]
icy_term\ SSH\ connect\ issue.webm
Hangs intermittently; this is what I thought was happening after downloads -
or on SSH connect, but this just happened at a random spot; keyboard input shows weird ANSi characters.
icy_term when it hangs - all the time not just downloads or... happens intermitt
ently.png
- I think I see whats going on - or, testing anyway. If I go to other
workspaces and come back to icy_term I can't always just click in its window
and go. Right now its 'hung' - but not locked up... the bbs screen saver
(cmatrix) is displaying, but icy_term isn't catching my mouse click or
key presses.... i cant get back into the window! more; even if i click on
hangup, or try to reconnect/dial - it wont let me in! [More testing]
This doesn't happen often - but it did, twice. Most of the time I'm NOT seeing this issue... [Continue to record IF you see it, tho - document m0re of the WHY/
WHEN/HOW....]
- when in this 'mode', even HANGUP doesnt work - its like i'm 'locked' out of i
cy_term
nothing gets me back in - have to kill the application.
icy_term\ locked\ after\ visiting\ other\ workspaces.webm
No icon is shown in the panel/menu bar - shows a generic > prompt icon...
Last few downloads worked perfect, w/o any issues... [More testing]
- also, after download theres that HANG intermitently like described above! Grr
rrr.

up to date. Opengl32.dll And VCRUNTIME140.dll is required. Usually these two ar
e installed and it should run out of the box. If you can run any game with 3D gr
aphics it should just work. ## File structure IcyDraw stores data only in one di

d an own BBS back in the 90'. When I started rust I searched a project and some
days earlier I spoke with my wife about the good old days, PCBoard and then I go
t the idea to improve the PPL decompiler we used these days. That was my first p
roject and it was successful Around that time I learned that there are still BBS
es in the internet and I started to update my old ansi drawing tool (MysticDraw)
however I lost a bit track because of the gtk4 bindings. It's very difficult to
write even a mid sized UI application with these. First I tried to ressurect my
old ansi drawi' in local database
icy_term TELNET connections lose carrier if left for hours
No mouse support? Some users like to use scroll wheel to advance messages their reading down/up lines. SyncTERM also has click support - character you click on is fed to the terminal... maybe just scrollwheel support for messages?
