- /* This example demonstrates how you can write a "Text Scroller" */
- /* which is both using a double buffered display to create smooth */
- /* scrolling and our own colour copper list. */
- /* */
- /* The font we are using is not loaded from the disk. We have */
- /* instead included it in the program code itself with help of */
- /* "IncludeFont". */
- /* */
- /* This program is a nice example on how you can combine the */
- /* examples and utilities in this manual to create impressive */
- /* programs, games and demos. */
- /* */
- /* To start the program you have to give it one argument, a file- */
- /* name to the text file which will be printed: */
- /* */
- /* Synopsis: Example3 <textfile> */
-
- /* Since this example does not load any font you can put this */
- /* program on any disk and it will always run. You do not have to */
- /* bother about includeng the correct font. The problem with */
- /* loading separate files is that you can never be sure that the */
- /* files still exist. The user has maybe removed or deleted them. */
- /* NEVER trust the user!!! */
- /* */
- /* This example consists of two modules. This is the main module */
- /* and contains the program code itself. The other module is */
- /* called "FontData.c" and contains all information about the */
- /* font. These two modules should be compiled separately and then */
- /* linked together. If you have the SAS (Lattice) C Compiler you */
- /* would do like this: */
- /* 1. "lc Example3.c" */
- /* 2. "lc FontData.c" */
- /* 3. "blink with Example3.lnk" */

- I am sorry but this file is only available for registered
- members.
-
- The registration fee is only £30, $60, SEK 300, or similar
- amount in your own currency (price includes everything). The
- Amiga C Encyclopedia is the largest collection of documents,
- examples and utilities in C for the Amiga and it is still among
- the cheapest manuals. But this is not all, a registered owner
- will also get:
-
- 1. Two disks containing the last parts of the encyclopedia.
- The disks will be sent by first class air mail.
-
- 2. Registration card for the Amiga C Club (ACC).
-
- 3. Immediate information about updates.
-
- 4. Updated versions of the encyclopedia for only the cost of
- disks plus postage and packing.
-
- 5. Assistance with digitizing colour pictures and sampling
- sound effects.
-
- 6. Unlimited help with your C programs. You never have to be
- alone with your problems.
-
- 7. The right to use parts of the manual in your own
- commercial/non-commercial programs/articles.
-
- Can any other manual give you all this???
-
- The simplest way of paying is to include the money in a letter
- in cash. US dollar bills, English pounds or Swedish SEK are
- preferred, but all currencies are accepted. You can also send
- the money as a "Postal Money Order", ask your local bank or
- post office. Please do not use cheques. It is sadly extremely
- expensive to cash a foreign cheque here in Sweden.
-
- If you live in Scandinavia you can send the money to "Svenska
- Post Girot, postgiro konto: 641 88 30 - 3, betalnings-
- mottagare: Datra".
-
- Please send the registration fee together with your complete
- address to:

- I have worked for more than four years now with this
- encyclopedia, and with your help I can continue to improve it.
-
- Happy programming!!!
