What is the difference between the DATA-PAGE and the SCRIPT-PAGE on GIST?
Ans.: The DATA-PAGE provides a compatibility with the 80 column by 25 row screen on the PCs. This page uses the PC-ACII version of the ACII code set that preserves the box-drawing characters in their place so that the existing English packages can be used without any change. The 2Dat_big provides a magnified view of the 1Dat_Pg in higher resolution. But it can show fewer lines of text at a time. On the other hand, the SCRIPT-PAGE is unique to GIST. It provides proportionally width characters even for English and use high-resolution 24-dot fonts for a better display of all the scripts.
