Hello All,

trying to set-up my own BBS for retrocomputers and it is now time of managing
C64 access on dedicated port.

Anything is smooth by using ascii files with .40col.asc extension, but would
like to introduce .seq files as well.

Looks like PETSCII SEQ is mostly a (sequential)  export format for the few
PETSCII editors.

I've understood from the link below that I need to include upper/graphics
character by sending the character 142, to properly display SEQ files sketched
with the uppercase charset, and add a pause/hit-a-key prompt at the end of
PETSCII-graphics files to reset to lowercase:

thread=1684

I would appreciate any hint about any quick way to edit the SEQ file in order
to add character 142 at the beginning (and the Pause @-code at the end).

Thanks in advance for patience and support.

BR
