    From Al@46:1/161 to All on Thu Mar 19 13:41:58 2015
    Hello All,

    I need to change the character set in thedraw or acid draw with the alt-f1 -
    10 key. That changes your console. Is there a way I can disable that in the console so thedraw or acid draw will receive the command instead?

    Ttyl :-),

    First question would be, why not use Pablodraw? Still currently maintained, and
    there's a Linux version. :)

    Other than that, I think I remember there being a way to scroll through them, maybe alt-up/down arrow keys? Otherwise if that's the only way to change them..
    then I don't know any other options besides using a modern ansi/ascii program.

    Is there really a linux version? Or is there just a version that you can use if you use if you use mono? I've never gotten it to work on linux. I'm thinking mono is the problem and I'm not finding much in the way of help for it.

    Why is it not a Linux version if mono is a prerequisite? Is it because it's an open source version of Microsoft's .NET framework? Or because it's a software platform designed to allow developers to easily create cross platform applications?

    I don't see the reasoning behind that claim.

    Anyhow, If you did have mono installed, then you may have missed out on the other prerequisite, which is gtksharp. I'm not sure if you need the regular package or the -dev package on Debian, though. So I suppose try one or the other.

    Lol. You may find the mouse-draw support interesting, too. Especially if you don't have the patience to draw block by block.

    If you ran this inside of Dosbox you could simply click on the window and it will capture your input so you're then able to use the F keys without it switching consoles on you. To release the mouse again you hit ctrl-f10. I'm pretty sure you can also use the SysRq keys to get out again but I've never tried them.

    Note: Aciddraw works fine in Dosbox, too.

    I have dosbox installed on another box, will try that out, thanks..
