Re: SDL, VNC and ARAnyM

VNC cannot pass any information it doesn’t have – there *is* no
layout information (although with the exception of the left Alt
key, Escape and ` keys (which I swapped), and some minor stuff
like CapsLock (which I use for e.g. €), my layout can pass as
US layout).

This is somewhat bad… I guess I’ll need to have a look into how
VNC handles keyboard input and how ARAnyM handles the emulation
of the Atari keyboard using the SDL scancodes.

This sure helps me. The one most important point I can get from
this is: it still works as it used to work for you 3 years ago
and you don’t seem to “not want to have to do anything with it
any more”. This is encouraging, as I’ve not delved into anything
GUI yet (except for some Visual Basic 1.0 and Turbo Vision 6.0,
decades ago) and will most likely lack some background skills.

FWIW, I'm quite impressed with mksh interactively. I thought it was much
*much* more bare bones. But it turns out it beats the living hell out of
ksh93 in that respect. I'd even consider it for my daily use if I hadn't
wasted half my life on my zsh setup. :-) -- Frank Terbeck in #!/bin/mksh
