About

This ResEdit color palette may speed up ZTerm's performance at high speeds (>=9600 bps.) If you don't need color, simply set your monitor to black and white. The following is from the ReadMe file: Begin Quote How it works: Changing the code resource makes ZTerm call _GetNewCWindow, instead of _GetNewWindow. When a program calls _GetNewCWindow, GetNewCWindow looks for a resource of type pltt with the same id as the window. It finds the palette copied into ZTerm, and loads it. When ZTerm tries to change the colors, the palette manager uses the closest available colors, which should be the ones in its palette (since there are only 16 colors). When ZTerm is normally used in 16 color mode, the colors are very hard to read, because it has to use the available colors. It takes half as long to draw a character on the screen in 4-bit mode (16 colors) then it does to draw one in 8-bit (256 colors) mode. Running in 16 colors should make ZTerm display the screen twice as fast (if your modem is fast enough).

A Stuffed, BinHexed file. Please place in the comm directory with ZTerm.
