- version 2.0 08-23-1989
- written by D. Biscuits
-
- This program is PD.
-
-
-
- Scr2TC is a program I wrote when I discovered Turbo C
- did not want to compile the screens I created using
- TheDraw when I saved them in the C format. This program
- converts these uncompilable files into files that Turbo
- C can understand. It is a program which is expanding
- and will probably never be finished.
-
- The files saved in C format must be saved in NORMAL
- mode, not CRUNCHED or ASCII, in order for this program
- to properly create a usable header file.
-
- To run, just type SCR2TC at the DOS prompt and enter
- the file names when prompted. After entering the file
- names you will be asked to choose a file format.
- Currently there are only two: C format and binary
- format. Select one of the above depending on how you
- saved the screen in TheDraw.
-
- With version 2.0, I have re-written the entire C format
- routine to allow the use of random length files, i.e.
- the size of screens that are saved with the block save
- may be of a different size than screens saved by using
- Alt-S.
- The binary format routine determines the length, also,
- so the ImageData variable length may be of a size other
- than 4000.
-
- Below is a demonstration program showing how to use a
- file created by Scr2TC:
-
- #include <conio.h>
- #include <myscreen.h> /* File containing image. */
-
- main()
- {
- .
- .
- .
- puttext(1,1,80,23,ScrData);
- .
- .
- .
- }
-
- Sample run of Scr2TC:

- NOTE: Input and output files MUST be different.
-
- Enter input file: TEST.H
- Enter output file: NEWTEST.H
-
- Choose a format to convert from:
- 1 - C format saved by TheDraw
- 2 - Binary format saved by TheDraw
- 3 - ANSI <*** NOT YET AVAILABLE ***>
- Any other key to exit.

- -- Program History --
- Version 1: 08-15-1989
- Whipped up a small program in BASIC to read the C
- format file and convert it. It was limited and VERY
- slow. Re-wrote it in C, but still it was limited in
- the sense that the program required that the full
- screen be saved and the ImageData variable be 4000
- bytes in length.
-
- Version 2: 08-23-1989
- Re-wrote the whole C format routine. It will now
- properly convert screens that are other than the full
- screen size.
- Binary format added and debugged.
