I assume you have a fixed amount of lines and columns? If so it should
be very simple to write a pos-highlighter (part of your project, does
not need to be registerred in IDE), that has
CharAttributes: Array[1..maxLine] of array [ 1..MaxColumn] of TAttribute
Of course that is not practical if you have thousands of lines, as it
would require a lot of storage....
Since it's emulating a mechanical terminal that printed to roll paper,
the number of lines is indeterminate and increasing. I suppose that I
could limit it to (say) 1000, but if other people started using it
there'd be bound to be somebody complain.
Have you ever seen a roll of paper, of indeterminate length? ;-)
And a mechanical terminal with multi-color ribbon?
[Well, I've seen a black/red ribbon many years ago...]
