Here is a preview of the LOADSCRN SUB I told you about a
while back. I would appreciate you keeping this a bit
private for now but wanted you to see we REALLY were
working on it.
LOADSCRN will load a complete screen or a portion or the
screen from a BSAVE screen file. Not only that but you
can copy all your .BSV files into one and tell LOADSCRN
while screen number to display.
Using The Draw or something that will BSAVE a text screen,
create the screen(s) you want to use and save the ENTIRE
screen. This should create a file that is 4014 bytes in
size. From the DOS prompt, type:
COPY SCREEN1.BSV+SCREEN2.BSV+SCREEN3.BSV SCREENS.BSV
You can name the files anything you want since you will
be passing the filename to the SUB.
To display a full screen, use 0 for the starting row and
0 for the starting column. For displaying a partial
screen, use the appropriate screen coordinates. Keep in
mind that even though you intend to only use a portion
of a screen, the ENTIRE screen must be saved at this time.
We are currently working on the capability of using partial
screen saves as well as entire screens so it won't require
so much disk space.
I've sent you the source code for this since I figured you
could probably get more out of it this way but please keep
it confidential for right now.
Thanks and thanks for the SUPER USEFUL BBS!
