Thanks, Mick, for the extensive answer.

I think what we have so far isn’t far off from your ideas. We have three different versions:

- Vadim’s rather spartan version, which is constantly being improved..

- A VGA version with extensive features.

- A VT-100 version that meets most of the requirements and runs on a bare Picomite.

I can’t contribute anything regarding compatibility with various LCD displays since I don’t have any. Also, I can say little about using the library because I haven’t used it so far. Fundamentally, using the library contradicts my idea of a simple program that is easy to understand, robust, and easy to install (IMHO).

If individual users find it useful to split the FM and better offload parts, that is easily possible. I demonstrated this and the possibility using the offloading of the DiskInfo module. I think Vadim wouldn't mind if the result was made available for download here. But I doubt whether splitting it up will improve handling.

At this point, I'd like to thank Peter again, who made many things possible with his firmware updates behind the scenes.

Kind regards
Michael
