Short: NewPubScreen is a simple CLI command which opens a public screen
using the supplied name and screen mode.
Req.: OS 2.0 or better.
The arguments are as follows:
NAME - a name for the public screen. It must be unique among the
public screens.
WIDTH - the width of the screen in pixels. Default as Workbench.
HEIGHT - the height of the screen in pixels. Default as Workbench.
DEPTH - the depth (number of bitplanes) of the screen. Default as
Workbench.
MODE - the mode ID for the screen. Common mode IDs are:
NTSC:HalfBrite $11080
NTSC:HalfBrite Laced $11084
NTSC:HAM $11800
NTSC:HAM Laced $11804
NTSC:High Res $19000
NTSC:High Res Laced $19004
NTSC:Low Res $11000
NTSC:Low Res Laced $11004
PAL:HalfBrite $21080
PAL:HalfBrite Laced $21084
PAL:HAM $21800
PAL:HAM Laced $21804
PAL:High Res $29000
PAL:High Res Laced $29004
PAL:Low Res $21000
PAL:Low Res Laced $21004
These numbers should be entered with the "$" as they are
hexidecimal. Default as Workbench.
AUTOSCROLL - allow the mouse to push large screens around the visible
or AS display area
REQUESTER - brings up an ASL screen mode requester to specify width,
or REQ height, depth, mode and autoscroll. This option requires
asl.library version 38 or better.
So typing "NewPubScreen MyScreen WIDTH 320 HEIGHT 256 DEPTH 4 MODE $21000"
will result in NewPubScreen opening a standard PAL low res 16 colour screen
with the name "MyScreen". You could now open a Shell on this screen by
typing "NewShell CON://///SCREENMyScreen".
Please send me any comments or suggestions you have to improve NewPubScreen.
