1. Display Server
Al,
The more I use Display Server, the more I like it. With every program I
write now I use this for debugging. And I have a couple of functioning
programs that write normal output to this server.
I wonder if you still plan to provide some of the updates mooted a while
ago? These included:
- Colours (not so important to me)
- Scrolling (very useful)
- Pretty printing (very very useful)
Thanks,

Hi there Craig,
You're right in that those updates would be a nice improvement...
especially scrolling...which i needed myself too. I'll have to
get back to this and at least add that functionality very soon.
I dont think colors will be too hard to add, but pretty printing
should already be supported via my own pretty printing routines
found in the archive. Actually called "Pretty_Sequence", these
routines allow your code to create a pretty sequence and then send
it to Display Server or possibly a Rich Edit control or other Edit
control too. In fact, now that you mention it, i put a note in
the description of Pretty Sequence in the archive that mentioned
the output can be sent to Display Server :)
There's also other options with Pretty Sequence that can change
the delimiters so that you can format a sequence into something
that looks like say a directory listing (without the '{' and '}'
characters normally found in a print of a sequence). It's quite
versatile that way so you may find that useful to use with the
Display Server.
Take care,
Al
And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!

Well I'll be ...
It was there all along!
Thanks Al, that's all I need with this program!

Hi Craig,
Oh you found it...that's great. I hope you get some good use
out of it.
You also reminded me that at some point i meant to integrate a
version of that D.S. with my command line Eu debugger.
Take care,
Al
