Lars informed me that $F142 by default produces ASCII code 0 via Ctrl-@. One just needs a way to distinguish it from the no-key-press.
This means that the further processing can be done in that same as on the Apple II - meaning to just replace in the VT100 keyboard translation table $00 with $FF as code for ignore-key.
Chris made me aware that ASCII code 0 actually is a valid character (usually entered as Ctrl-Space or Ctrl-@) and that it is actually used (i.e. by EMACS).
The Apple II allows to natively enter the ASCII code 0 via Ctrl-@. However so far get_key_if_available returned 0 in accumulator to signal that no key was pressed. In order to allow the Apple II get_key_if_available to return the ASCII code 0 in the accumulator I changed it to use the carry flag to signal that no key was pressed.
Because get_key_if_available needs of course to behave the same on all targets I changed the other implementations to use the carry flag too.
Unfortunately I don't know enough about input capabilities of the C64 to decide on how to best get Telnet65 to send ASCII code 0 there.
It's imho in general a pretty unfortunate design to have IP65 check the keyboard during blocking operations. Rather it should call back into the application and have that decide what type of user abort it wants to offer.
Anyhow I don't want to change all that - at least not now. Therefore I just added the option to influence which key is considered the abort key - and provide a key value that isn't actually used and as such disables the abort check.
The pretty small check_for_abort_key is used by DHCP and DNS which means it is used by about every IP65 program. The pretty large get_filtered_input on the other hand is very seldom used so it makes sense to put the latter in a separate module to keep it from ending up in binaries unused.
- Added exit_to_basic symbol.
- Aligned linker config with C64 linker config.
- Made switch to lower charset compatible.
Allow all test programs to run with LANceGS card.
Aligned C64 input file name.
