README.DOC This Document.
ScreenDraw (SD.EXE) is a screen editor for designing colorful menus for
batch files, programs, and for making presentations. It has the following
features:
- An easy color selection from a pop-up menu.
- ASCI chart
- Line and box drawing capabilities.
- Block operations: Copy, Move, Erase, and Color.
- On-Line help and a user-freindly interface. No need for reading
a guide in order to operate the program.
SEE.COM is a handy utility that displays the screen files created by
ScreenDraw. It displays the file, waits for a keystroke and returns the
errorlevel of the key pressed. This is useful in enhancing batch files
with colorful screens. Please see the sample MENU.BAT file, run it
and feel free to edit it and adapt it to your system. SEE.COM displays
screen files in 10 different modes (display effects) listed below:
0. Random pieces fill the screen (Fed-in)
1. Open the screen from the middle Horizontally
2. Open the screen from the middle Vertically
3. Close the screen towards the middle Horizontally
4. Close the screen towards the middle Vertically
5. Move the screen from Left to Right
6. Move the screen from Right to Left
7. Move the screen UP
8. Move the screen DOWN
9. Replace the screen (put it one shot).
You can run the batch file DEMO.BAT to examine these effects, seperately
or from within MENU.BAT.
REQUIREMENT:
------------
ScreenDraw shall work with any IBM compatible system. It needs 64KB
of memory. A color system will utilize all features of the program
but it's not a requirement.
Regsitered users will receive software updates at no extra charge.
In addition, if interested they will receive a utility that generates Turbo C
source code from each screen file they make. Programmers can then merge this
source file with their Turbo C programs (Please see the PCPIANO.EXE
which was developed with the help of ScreenDraw v 1.0, this program is for the
public domain, so enjoy using it freely). I am working on enabling the utility
to generate Turbo Pascal source code.
If you find ScreenDraw of benefit to you, please send $15 registeration
fees to:
