Thanks Pete. I bookmarked this site for later on. Pascal like...I
wrote a program in Pascal once it wasn't that hard. A graphics termial
program for the Atari ST in about 1984. I later rewrote it in Laser C
as a Desk Accessory, like a TSR in DOS. It was graphics terminal called
Instant Graphics! in 1986 and was pretty cool, like early HTML/FLASH in
the days of the BBS.
Here's a link to the past tells all about our pre-web pioneer efforts to
integrate graphics and GUI to the online world...

I have something call VectaSketch simular to the old IG graphics,
written in JAVA as a applet. I did it a couple of years ago and it
works fine with the Microsoft Java but not like it should with the newer
Sun Java2. I recompiled it with Java2(1.4.0) didn't change anything
except added about 100 bytes to the new class file. I used Sun's JAVA
1.0.2 originally to write VectaSketch, when I recompile I get 70
warnings on Deprecated commands, haha! Now I will be wrapping my mind
around JAVA again. I wish I could do it in EUPHORIA.
If you are curious about VectaSketch you can see it in action and
download it too at...

Best viewed with IE 5 and MS JVM. Netscape 4.0.7 seems to not terminate
the threads right and eats system resources like crazy.
I'm testing and rewritting with the newest JAVA 2 from Sun.
It has a lot of new graphics stuff so maybe I will make it more powerful
but I don't want the class file to get big, right now it's 32K and you
get a scripted graphics interpreter. Nothing as nice as the EU
interpreter but it was the best I colud come up with at the time being a
hobbiest programmer.
