The first is to use an alternateπcharacter set (the EGA can have 2 on screen at once, the VGA canπhave 4). You use one character set as normal text, and use theπother as a pseudo-graphics window. Put the text you need toπscroll in the window and move (copy) it a pixel at a time. Theπsecond way is to use the 8253 timer to time the scanline. Whenπthe scanline gets to the portion of the screen you want, turn offπv-retrace, set v-retrace on the next scan line, and set theπhorizontal pel pan to the value you need for your smooth pan.πWhen the card gets to the line that the v-retrace would occur, itπresets the pan but doesn't retrace because you turned it off.πAfter this, reset the registers you changed back to their defaultπvalues so the card builds the screen correctly. This is done onπEVERY screen build. Needless to say, the pseudo-graphics windowπversion is easier so that's the one I used to program the exampleπthat follows.π}ππProgram SmoothTextScrollExample1;ππ{==============================================ππ Smooth Scroll In Text Mode Exampleπ Programmed by David Dahlπ 12/21/93π This program and source are PUBLIC DOMAINππ ----------------------------------------------ππ This example uses a second font to scrollπ the text.
