Command Line

zcc  +cpm -subtype=v1050 -create-app program.c
zcc  +cpm -subtype=v1050 -create-app -clib=ansi program.c
zcc  +cpm -subtype=v1050 -create-app --generic-console program.c

A .imd disc image (including a .COM file) will be created as a result.

Native terminal ESC sequences

The Visual 1050 is natively able to work in VT100 mode, but the overall behavior is sightly different than when using the VT-ansi libraries.

Emulator hints

MAME supports the Visual 1050.
