60cols.exe (c)1991 David E. Stewart
(This document file is written for
viewing within the Portfolio editor).
This program should help whet your
appetite for some programs I am
working on to turn the Portfolio into
a machine with a bigger screen
(without expensive hardware!)
I have found that by reducing the
size of each character, you can have
a 60 column by 10 row screen on the
Port. This program illustrates such
a screen.
To run this, make sure all display
settings are on normal, then type
60cols from the command line.
The file CHARDATA.DAT must be in
the same directory that you
are running 60cols from. When
you see "Ready for input," start
typing and enjoy what you see!
Hit <ESC> to clear the screen. Hit
backspace to erase mistakes, and hit
CTRL-Q to quit. Note that this program
will only type lower- and upper-case
letters, spaces, questions marks,
periods, and exclamation marks. No
numbers or other characters are
available in this version.
Where to from here?
By the time you've read this, I'll
have a full character set word
processor just about ready.
Ultimately, I'd like to make this a
TSR program that you can use to make
everything come out on a 60 by 10
screen! I'm also adding a cursor
so you can see where you are.
I'd like to hear your comments.
Anyone who sends me a message about
possible enhancements to this program
will be offered $5 off the price of
any further updates (which will go
for $25). Or, if you love it and have
no comment, send $20 now, and I'll
send you the word processor and any
other updates (allow 4-6 weeks for
delivery).
Thanks, and let's hear some comments.
