Hello Leon,


is non spectacular. It's simple a text console:

ng

Paolo has improved the key bindings and added mouse copy and paste.
Because this console uses SDL, it is also usable for graphic later.

Hello Paolo,

Hi colinux users,

I have published a first version of my colinux console on



http://xoomer.alice.it/paolo.minazzi/colinux-console-nt.exe



Use it quietly, I have compiled it with mingw under vmware. It cannot 

have viruses.



I can easily add other font. This one is the version with 8x14 pixel 

for each char.

The console size if 80x25 chars.



I have tried it enough and it is possible use it without problems.

I have used it at work ( I develop on an ARM linux system) and I use 

colinux to cross compiling.

I have tested the console on 0.7.3 stable version.



* Copy and Paste

   It is possible using the mouse. Double click select and copy a word.

   Selecting copy the text in the clipboard

   Right button do paste.



* How try it

   The easiset way is to rename the old colinux-console-nt.exe and 

copy the new one.

   An other way can be detach the old colinux-console-nt.exe with

ALT+WIN and run my version.

The only thing I have to remind is to avoid paste-ing of large block 

od fata because it can block the colinux machine.



As soon as it is very very stable, I will send source to Henry.



Any suggestion is welcome.



Paolo

   

    



have quick tested, and impressed from your copy&paste :-) A nice icon you

have.



Can you make the cursor flashing slower, think 1/4 from current frequency.

Best would be disable  flashing, if the Window is not active.



I have used your suggestion by copy your console over the other one, and it

was launched from colinux-daemon without problems.
