QWIK11.ARC:
These include procedures for Turbo Pascal are quite fast and with Brian
Foley's assistance (the current author of FastWrite), I have been able
to provide user's with faster and easier to use screen writing utilities.
In this package (QWIK11.ARC) are:
QwriteV.inc: for Quick direct screen writing with or without attributes
for referenced (VAR) strings
Qwrite .inc: for Quick direct screen writing with or without attributes
for value strings
Qfill .inc: for Quick filling of the screen with or without attributes
of the same character. It's useful for things like
clearing the screen or creating window areas.
Qattr .inc: for Quick direct screen modification of just the attributes.
You will find it useful for developing pull down menus.
GotoRC .inc: the inverse of Turbo's GotoXY and a tad faster.
Qwik11 .inc: has all of the above routines but compiles much faster
because there are no comments.
There is NO special preparations to use these procedures. Simply include
them in your programs and use. They are even faster then before.
For help with attribute values, use Brian's FWATTR.INC on Borland's SIG
on CompuServe in Turbo Pascal Data Library for MSDOS.
Run QDEMO.PAS for a demo of all the QWIK11.INC procedures.
Improvements in this version are much greater speed (comparable to FastWrite
for those who compare) and the addition of QwriteV.inc. The previous version
had a problem with Mono displays - I made a mistake; what else can I say. But
the problem is corrected now. They are compatible with IBM PC/XT/AT
machines. Some better documents will be out later, but for now I want users
to have something that works well.
If there are any problems such as snow, please let me know. Meanwhile, enjoy!
