[UNAPI] - Telnet Client

It has been updated on msx hub as well, thanks Fr3nd

P.s. I understood it Karloch , just that I couldn't avoid elaborate on the idea The screen of the Spectrum looks like 4 pixels font/64 columns

Thanks for the kind words Karloch!

Version 1.20 is available on my github (and should be available on MSX-HUB shortly, I've sent a pull request for a new package to fr3nd):

# CHANGELOG v1.20

- ANSI-DRV.BIN is no longer externally loaded. I've converted it into a SDCC library, which give us a few benefits, first, performance wise it is a little bit better as now functions are called using a fast calling convention that doesn't use stack... Second, you can place it anywhere on your path and it will not complain about not being able to load ANSI-DRV.BIN... Last but not least... Having a SDCC library available might get more developers involved in using this great screen mode for many different applications. :)

If anyone is interested on using the SDCC library:

Good stuff!

It'd be nice to implement it in some text editor (like msx-vi :) ) to have syntax highlighting

For a text editor I think is way more optimal to use SCREEN 0 with the 4 colors to build a text user interface MS-DOS EDIT. CoM style. The ANSI driver or lib uses SCREEN 7 and even if it is fast for the highres screen mode, I don't think it can match SCREEN 0.

Hey ducasp, not sure if I have mentioned this already but: in order to distribute releases for your project, instead of including a ZIP file in the repository itself you can use GitHub's built-in releases mechanism. See for example here:

https://github.com/Konamiman/Nextor/releases/tag/v2.1.0-beta2

As you can see, the release gets a nice page where you can add whatever release notes you want and include all the relevant binaries to be easily downloaded. Also there's a "releases" tab right below the repository description where anyone can easily browse the existing releases.
