  • Syncterm Numlock

    From Underminer@VERT to Deuce on Wed May 20 02:34:03 2015
    Hey Deuce,
    When I run syncterm on my linux box all is well. When I run it on Windows almost all is well, but there is a strange glitch. I have to toggle numlock each time I run it (turn it off if it was previously on, or on if it was previously off) to get the numpad to work. Is this a known issue, and is there a workaround? It's not a major thing, but it does cause slight consternation sometimes. It is the same on all my windows boxes and lappys.

    well, I didn't try the number lock key trick, I notice it, about a week ago, when I was testing out the sbbs 3.16 full out on another computer, it the main telnet program, when I notice it, I try in on my laptop, on a wireless 10 key and it was ok, I made a post to deuce here, but no reply yet, even check a few old copys of syncterm, it was there (went back to 2/17/15 build)

    Sounds like an SDL bug. I'll take a look next time I sit at a Windows box.
