  • PETSCII issues with terminal-abstraction branch

    From Rob Swindell@1:103/705 to GitLab issue in main/sbbs on Fri Mar 28 10:05:34 2025
    open https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/issues/894

    There's a "[Hit a key]" prompt immediately displayed when connecting to C64 port on cvs.synchro.net (TCP port 64):
    ```
    Synchronet BBS for Linux Version 3.20
    Telnet connection from: 71.95.196.34
    Resolving hostname...

    [Hit a key]
    ```
    This doesn't happen on the master branch.

    There's a pause prompt after the answer message is displayed and before the login prompt:

    Running sbbslist.js, hitting enter or down arrow after the initial screen-full of BBSes is listed, the script goes into an infinite loop of calling getkey() with no wait and appears to be constantly clear the screen or the last line (the cursor is bouncing around the last line), with no ability to stop/quit. This doesn't happen when run on the master branch.

    After display a text file that switches to PETSCII graphics mode, the BBS isn't auto-returning to upper/lower mode, as can be seen by viewing the first PETSCII "General Text File" on Vertrauen:
    ```
    🭾🭶🭰♥🭸╮╮ ♠RTWORK 🭺ILES:

    1: AZTEC▁SHIP.SEQ

    3: CRYSTAL.SEQ
    4: JACKPOT.SEQ
    5: LIMO▁NADE▁NSTA▁ND.SEQ
    6: PYRAMID▁2.SEQ
    ```
    This doesn't happen (we auto-return to upper/lower PETSCII mode) on the master branch.

    irc.js displays a ton of apparently redundant [Hit a key] prompts after connecting to a server. Doesn't happen on the master branch.

    I don't think P_OPENCLOSE would be set.

    Yeah, I just grabbed a .seq from cvs... fixed now... it wasn't passing the lower-case character though.
