-READ ME  VFGRAFIXCOM"`zVFGRAFIXTXT0!VFGRAFIXVID VID COM 4 September 14, 1986 Dear Jay, I'm afraid I haven't been following too closely your development of VFILER, as I haven't used the program too much in the past. I did however take a good long looks at VF41h, which is a terrific piece of work. In fact, it's so terrific it deserves to look better on the screen. The menu/help screen is unbearably cluttered with a lot of useless punctuation, which seems to be a nearly universal failing in the computer world - engineers like a lot of punctuation, it seems, while writers and designers are busily trying to get rid of it. I've redesigned the screen a bit to make it cleaner, more attractive, and easier to read, and I thought you might like to see it, even if it's already too late to do anything about it now. VFGRAFIX.COM may not work for you, as I have used the common strings for full and half intensity highlighting, ESC ( and ESC ), or 1bh 28h and 1bh 29h, and I believe I saw somewhere that your terminal doesn't support these. VFGRAFIX.VID has to be run with the Z utility (needs installation) VID.COM, but it will read your terminal descriptor to get the proper standout sequence codes. VGRAFIX.TXT is a straight text file with no highlighting indicated. I hope you find my experiment interesting...
