Greetings,
I compiled and installed syncterm on my linux setup where I am getting SBBS going, since there is not a syncterm echo that I know of I thought I would ask here..
How can I make it go fullscreen? I tried the alt-enter and it
doesnt do anything, is there something I should have done specifically when building it?

What do you mean by fullscreen?

He mentioned alt-enter, so I would assume he means the fullscreen
mode where the program takes over control of the whole screen
(not just a maximized Windows program).

Alt-Enter is a Windows feature. Not sure if Linux has it. It's not Alt-Enter.
Maybe it one of the function key shortcuts built in but I've never had "full screen" on my lubuntu machine.

That's what I understood it to mean also. Alt-Enter does exactly
that here, on Linux.

Yea but not always... I remember I built SyncTerm on LinuxMint
once and had this issue... gosh, I got it working - AND THEN
Alt+Enter worked after.. but I can't remember what button I
pressed or knob I turned, ya know.

I didn't know alt enter did that on linux. I use command line for
90% of my day and my terminal is almost always a full screen. You
can setup the screen mode from the default 80x25 to something
deeper, perhaps?
never had "full screen" on my lubuntu machine.
Gamgee said Alt-Enter does that for him in Linux..

Okay... I don't think there's anything to remember about it,
probably. I've never seen it *NOT* work. Possibly building it
from source helps, and that's how I've always done it.

Lol... listen I was on Mint or some starter distro... but I also
built from source and on ONE of my installs as I was hopping
around distros, the Alt+Enter thing didn't work...
then, what i meant is... i can't remember what the oddity was in
that build, but I did something that enabled or allowed the
alt-enter to work. On that build...
But I follow you and your logic is right. Just saying, that I had
the issue once too... and while I couldn't give the OP the
answer, I figured it out in the end.
Would it be possible to compile Syncterm for IPadOS? That would be so cool.
And I think it's just iOS, not iPadOS.

Actually I think iPadOS is its own thing now. But I haven't done any apple dev work so who knows.
I do like BBSing on my iPad, for what it's worth...I've been using htmlterm on my BBS website to connect via wss. It works really well, I'm a big fan.

I think it would take a lot more than just a recompile. There would have to be iOS-specific things added, at least.

The newer iPads do run iPadOS. There is such a thing.

Are you going to pony up the $99 a year that Apple charges in order to get SyncTERM listed in the Apple store? Otherwise you'll only be able to side-load it on a jailbroken device.
I haven't published an iOS app, but I had the impression that the $99 fee was a one-time fee to get it listed. But developers have to pay $99 every year to have the app listed?

I think it's $99 per year to remain an active "apple developer" I don't think you can push updates to your app without it.
However, some might also argue that there is also a lot of 'junk' software out there, and software with ads, malware, etc.. I suppose it can help to have a middle ground somewhere to help ensure a selection of quality software.

Hmm, if only someone came up with a system where development tools were freely available, but there was some kind of central repository of some sort to install software from that served as a level of validation to keep the crap out. And if only this mystical environment could not only exist, but have some kind of easy to use command line to install software directly from these repositories.... if only. ;D
I suppose you're talking about Linux distros.. :P One thing I've found with that though, is that software in a distro's repository isn't always the most up to date. To get the latest version of something, sometimes you the package manager and look it up there too - I just don't think a package manager makes it significantly easier, it's just a convenient place to look for software.

to side-load
Decently maintained repos absolutely do the things we were talking about needing ;)
