Fix the GUI file display #174

Open davidrg opened 1 year ago

davidrg commented 1 year ago

CKW (and Kermit 95) has an undocumented GUI file transfer status dialog which you can enable with set file display gui: image

This has a number of issues that need fixing:

Would be nice to have this fixed as other solutions all have this feature.

Looking at the code again, a lot of the stuff for updating the GUI file transfer window is not compiled for the K95G target, only the mysterious KUI target:

You can see the GUI dialog working on this page of screenshots from 1997: http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/kuishots.html

I'm not entirely sure why its complied out for K95G - perhaps it was for performance reasons? Maybe the KUI target is/was for testing new features not ready to appear in K95G yet and the ability to turn on this file transfer GUI from k95g is an accident.
