There is a tbred conversion folder at *conv.tbd.  It has been about 20 years since I did one of these, and I do not remember any of the steps.  I just quickly looked in the folder, but did not see a documentation file - but all the programs that you should need are there.  Maybe the documentation is somewhere else - I just don't remember.

That gives me a field separator, not a record separator.  I need a record separator.

Language / Serial data stream

I'm working with a stream of data over a serial COM port.  Each 'message' in the stream of data ends with a $04$.  Is there way to have the READ directive treat that character as the end of the data to read, so that no other data is read from the buffer?    The number of characters in each message is variable, so just using a SIZ= option will not work either.

Correct.  One of the extended desktops (not the main system one), should be black.  No heading or anything else on this extended desktop.  But I want to be able to 'print' data and graphics to that extended desktop.

I'm trying to create a video overlay for information display via a video switcher.  Using a 'Key' function, the black area on the screen can be replaced with the underlying video image.

Is there a way to just have a black screen, then add elements of graphics and data to that black screen?

Does the same concept apply to CSHost as well?  I've seen multiple CSHOST sessions as well.

I've used embeddeed I/O to update an external DB - This keeps the external DB update to the minute - and no refresh cycle required.
