Message-ID: <5469@brl-smoke.ARPA> Date: Sun, 21-Dec-86 17:49:11 EST Article-I.D.: brl-smok.5469 Posted: Sun Dec 21 17:49:11 1986 Date-Received: Mon, 22-Dec-86 22:39:23 EST Organization: Ballistic Research Lab (BRL), APG, MD. Lines: 17 I am a very novice MAC+ programmer working in C. My first project is YATE (Yet Another Terminal Emulator) which will use a Vadic 9600 bps modem. I would appreciate advice on ways to quickly draw characters on the Mac's screen and perform other functions such as clear screen, scroll and delete line. In particular, I would like to receive comments such as "the normal way to draw characters is to use the Quickdraw routines xxx and yyy; however, it would be faster to instead use zzz but this requires you to do the following". A lot of detail is not needed - just pointers to different strategies. Thanks! Howard howard@brl.arpa !seismo!brl-adm!howard
