When a file is open in text mode, CR and LF combinations are translated between the file system's native format and the Symbian OS format (which uses CR, LF to designate the end of every line). See also: binary mode
Information that is sent to the display in the form of characters that fit in a 40-column by 24-line grid or in an 80-column by 24-line grid.
One of two display modes on the reader. By default, the reader uses Text mode and you can set the display size to 25 x 80, 16 x 20, 8 x 20, 16 x 10, and 8 x 10. If your application only recognizes DOS mode, you must use a display size of 25 x 80 or 25 x 40. The other display sizes are not DOS standard and are for use with custom applications. Text mode also supports two character attributes: blinking and reverse video. Contrast with graphics mode.
The mode that enables applications to display text but not graphics.
One of two modes of operation for PC monitors. (Contrast with graphics mode.)
A mode in which the printer prints only those characters contained in its built-in character set.
A video mode that can be defined as columns by rows of characters. upper memory area The 384 KB of memory located between 640 KB and 1 MB. A utility called a memory manager can create UMBs in the upper memory area, in which you can load device drivers and memory-resident programs.
A video mode that can be defined as columns by rows of characters. UL Abbreviation for Underwriters Laboratories.
When using files, you can use either binary mode or text mode. Binary mode means that Perl will not change your input or output in any way. This is my preferred mode of operation, by the way. Text mode-only available on some operating systems like Windows 95 and Windows NT-will convert newline/carriage return character pairs into a single newline. It will also interpret any byte that has a value of 26 as the end-of-file marker.
The video display mode in which only characters may be written to the screen.
A PC video mode where the screen is addressed in rows and columns of character cels. The default video mode of a PC when running DOS.
n. A display mode in which the monitor can display letters, numbers, and other text characters but no graphical images or WYSIWYG ("what-you-see-is-what-you-get") character formatting (italics, superscript, and so on). Also called alphanumeric mode, character mode. Compare graphics mode.
Text mode is a kind of computer display mode in which the content of the screen is internally represented in terms of textual characters rather than individual pixels. Typically, the screen consists of a uniform grid of character cells, each of which contains one of the characters of the character set.
