TDISPLAY 2.1 by TRINITY SOFTWARE
TDISPLAY is marketed as shareware, and may be downloaded (TDSP20.ZIP)
from a number of bulletin boards and information services, including
the MG Marketing International BBS (801-943-4616) and Compuserve.
UNDOCUMENTED FEATURE
TDisplay 2.1 has an as-yet undocumented feature which enables you to
include a title at either the top or bottom of the text display window.
This feature is activated on the command-line. The title is displayed
the same way as the User Key Prompt Line (as selected in the defaults
program, TDISPDEF.EXE), and the title displays opposite the prompt line.
That is, if you set the defaults for the prompt line to appear at the
bottom of the screen, the title will be placed at the top; or vice versa.
To add a title to the viewing window, type the title in quotation marks
when you run TDisplay on the command line. The full command line syntax
is:
TDISPLAY TEXTFILE.EXT [password] ["Title Goes Here In Typewriter Quotes"]
Items in square braces [] are optional. Do not type the braces.
CORRECTIONS:
The printed version of the manual fails to mention the self-displaying
version of the manual, which was created with TDISPLAY. This file is
called TDISPMAN.EXE. To view the manual on screen, type:
TDISPMAN [enter]
at the DOS prompt.
COLORS WHEN SETTING THE DEFAULTS WITH TDISPDEF.EXE:
When using TDISPDEF.EXE, if the screen background color is the same as
one of the foreground color options in a list of numbered options,
that foreground color choice will appear to be missing from the list.
Instead, you'll see a gap in the list. That color may still be selected
by typing its number (a number one greater than the preceding choice
in the list, or one less than the following choice). This will usually
only be a problem when selecting the foreground color for the key
display bar at the top or bottom of the screen.
