PRINTGAL 2.4 DAVID STEINER Registration $ (DOCS)
MISC FEB90 PRINTING GALLERY STEINER PRINTSHOP GRAPHICS
FILE prtgal24.sdn
Unlike the earliest versions, PrintGal now
reads all information for an art gallery into memory at once.
The absolute maximum number of graphics it can hold at one
time is 1,000. The practical limit seems to be about 800 on a
machine with 640K of memory. Although PrintGal is now much
more advanced, it is far from perfect. If you are loading a
file and PrintGal runs out of memory, the program will simply
abort. This isn't serious since you probably won't want a
gallery to contain that many graphics anyway.
Disk access is much faster than before. In
prior versions of PrintGal the conversion process took a lot
of time simply because Turbo reads files slowly. I accessed
DOS directly for reading and writing graphics shapes and was
shocked by the speed difference. This version is about ten
times faster than the old.
PrintGal is capable of reading, writing,
converting, or printing galleries from NewsMaster,
PrintMaster or PrintShop. PrintMaster and PrintShop graphics
are identical, so there is no problem converting between
them. However, NewsMaster graphics may be of variable sizes
so the graphics must be converted to be used by PrintMaster
or PrintShop.
Files may be merged by loading more than one
into memory at a time. When files are merged, PrintGal only
remembers the name of the last one loaded.
