VISTA - FOR FULL CONTROL OF TEXT DISPLAY TERMINALS
VISTA is a program package for controlling the input and output to an
alphanumeric display terminal from a SIMULA program on the DECsystem-10
computer. VISTA allows full program control over the contents of the
display screen. The package can for example be used to produce "moving
pictures" on part or whole of the display screen, or to allow the
terminal user to move around the screen inputting data in various screen
fields. A special subpackage FORM allows data input by letting the user
fill in fields in a "form" displayed on the screen. Full validity check
is done immediately for each field input from the user.
