Use Screen Machine to generate your displays and you'll save countless
hours of work - never again will you hand code your programs to display
screens.
In addition to a comprehensive manual and reference card, Screen Machine
consists of three main programs:
Capture.com
-----------
Captures text screens, with or without attributes, from your display and
saves them to disk files. The files can be edited with SCREEN.COM.
Also captures CGA graphic screens suitable for BLOAD or direct load into video memory.
Screen.com
----------
Paint your screens on a "what you see is what you get basis". Includes full
support for color, automatic box and line drawing, macros, cut and paste
between screens, on-line help, automatic centering (including within boxes),
block copy, move and delete and undo.
Genereates source code to display your screen in four major languages:
BASIC (including code for Mach 2 and The Inside Track)
Turbo Pascal (including code for Mach 2)
dBASE II, III and III+
Assembly
It automatically generates binary files that are suitable for direct load
to video memory from any language.
Show.com
--------
Using screens you design with SCREEN.COM, you can create demos, tutorials,
prototypes, help systems, hard disk menus and the like. Demos can be
distributed without payment of royalties.
You program SHOW.COM files in a fashion very similar to batch files. Tell
it what screen to display and what to do next. You can time the display
or tell the program a range of valid keys to accept. After a valid keypress,
you can act accordingly.
The instructions include GOTO, GOSUB, RETURN and CASE.
