No probs, as you prefere.

I' m managing to have other screenshot, but in my tests all pages are working.
maybe only a couple of problems: 
1) the "position indicator" is not ( as is falcon ) a couple of triangles, but
is a "^" ( caret )
2) the refresh is not as quickly as falcon, but you can count that a full ded
page is refreshed ( showed ) in less than half second.

In the same display there is also the Fault list (PFL).

Thanks, Erwin

There are a couple of problems, but can be easly workarounded.
The first one is that you should completely disattend the "invert lines" that
are completely useless. The invert char are also in the "ded lines" ( there is
a
^B at beginning of the inverted word and a ^B at the end.
The other ( and maybe most annoying ) is that in some pages ( I' ve encountered
in the ILS page ) some times, in some cases you loose the values in the line.
If, for example you change the ils channel and input more than three value
(1111) the Ded page in falcon is completely refreshed right, but in the shared
memory you have the line completely "nulled". if then you change the Ded Page,
the lines are refreshed correctly.
(When I use the word "line" or "lines" I'm (usually) talking about the shared
memory values)

Brief answer to your question: YES, they are OK,

If you are interessed, Erwin, we could contact directly and I can share with
you
part of my code. It is C based, but can give you some hint.

Maybe be can trade this with the logic behind the ADI
