Advanced and Unique Features

Some of the ADVANCED features of WinRamp Lite 1.2:

o RIPScrip graphical terminal emulation:
  Use WinRamp Lite to access Bulletin Board Systems supporting the
  exciting new graphical RIP terminal emulation. Currently WinRamp Lite
  is the FIRST and ONLY shareware Windows communications package
  supporting RIP. The WinRamp Lite RIP implementation works under
  Windows 16-color VGA*, in addition to the optimal 256-color (and more)
  SuperVGA.

  * Note: RIPScrip was originally designed to run under the 64-color
    Borland BGI graphics drivers.

o Multiple font-sizes under ANSI and AVATAR terminal emulations:
  With multiple font sizes under the popular ANSI BBS terminal emulation
  you are able to optimise your terminal emulations to run under the
  Windows resolution of your choice. During installation WinRamp Lite
  will automatically "sense" your Windows graphics resolution and
  install the optimal

o Prestel terminal emulation for Videotext based systems.
  Access the public Videotext systems in a number of European and other
  countries around the world (for example Britain, France, Israel and
  Australia)

o Open multiple terminal emulation windows simultaneously:
  A unique feature to WinRamp Lite is your ability to open multiple
  terminal emulation windows. It's possible to open an AVATAR window, an
  ANSI window and a RIP windows .. all on the same online system, or
  even different systems if you have multiple devices installed.

o Customizable floating toolbars:
  Everyone has different tastes and preferences. The WinRamp Lite user
  interface is remarkably customizable. Use the Toolbar Editor to create
  your own custom toolbars, and place these toolbars in the place of
  tour choice on the screen. WinRamp Lite is shipped with 3 default
  toolbars.

o Graphical and Text "Cut & Paste":
  "Cut & Paste" to the Windows clipboard BOTH text and Windows graphics
  from terminal emulations. This unique feature will enable you to
  quickly take rapid "screen shots" of your favourite online systems and
  paste the resulting Bitmap image into any other Windows application.

o Multiple Dialing Directors:
  This unique feature allows you to maintain and open any number of
  Dialing Directories (limited only by your hard-drive and RAM
  resources). Directory Entries from multiple directories can be
  seamlessly "merged" by toggling the WinRamp Lite Dialing Directory
  Tabs.

o Hot Dial Window:
  Set-up your favorite online systems to be included within the unique
  Hot Dial Window, each with it's own special icon. A click on the
  system's icon and that system will automatically be dialed ... no
  other keystrokes necessary!
  
o WR-Script:
  A compilable scripting language complete with a powerful Integrated
  Development Environment to assist in the development and debugging of
  WR-Script programs.

o WR-Script AutoLearn:
  Hands-off programming! AutoLearn records your session, and a simple
  switch will automatically compile the script after the recording
  session.

o The ability to attach Macros and WR-Script programs to toolbar
  buttons.

o VT52 - VT220 terminal emulations:
  One of the most complete implementations in the industry. New European
  character sets, including fonts sets for 132 column mode!

  A Quick Configuration routine designed specifically to get you online
  with WinRamp Lite in no more than a minute or two!
