Initial changes to support MODE7 graphics natively

From Rob Swindell@VERT to GitLab note in main/sbbs on Tue Feb 11 20:45:19 2025

Is there a reason to over-ride the default_term_height here? Is a 24 row mode7 terminal just never possible?

What are we using from mode7defs.h here?

is .m7 the best file suffix/extension to use for BBC mode7 encoded files? I don't know, just curious/asking.

I noticed this conversion isn't happening in the Windows version of this function, but it's not happening for PETSCII or UTF-8 either, so we'll have to deal with all 3 of those charset conversion together someday.

This file appears to be identical to system.msg just with the Ctrl-A codes stripped. If we're stripping Ctrl-A codes from display files already, why do we need this file (the result is the same)?

Why's there a date in this file?

Extraneous '/' in this string.

Maybe "BBC" instead? It's a little weird the charset and the terminal type are the same string value.

Nice! It could be merged as is but it'd be nice if it was cleaned-up a bit first.

Now that I think about it... where is the change to ignore/strip Ctrl-A codes? I'm not seeing that.

I see now, none of the values from mode7defs.h appear to be used, so I'm guessing this branch isn't as far along as I assumed. Hopefully the comments so far are at least helpful in some regard.

This will be added per my comment. I've not finished the autoterm stuff where it goes through and asks what sort of terminal you're using. I wanted to put these in so you're aware of them when adding to text.dat.

Removed. I can remove any others I come cross in the future since we're not longer using CVS.

Yup, but if we can unify chat_sec.js, that becomes N/A anyway.

OK. I will have to think about how I want to do that. I'll put it on my todo list.
