- Short: Patches ScrollRaster() to look nicer
- Author: chris@planb.TheGAP.com (Chris Perver)
- Uploader: chris@planb.TheGAP.com (Chris Perver)
- Type: util/boot
- Requires: Kickstart 37+
-
- COMPATIBLE: Vinced (Mostly)
- Vinci

- INCOMPATIBLE: KingCon
- Original CON:
- Vinced (When you type or press return above a line, etc)
-
- This program will patch the ScrollRaster() function to use my own routine, which
- uses ClipBlit(). The main bonus is that the new area of raster isn't cleared
- after the scroll, so new text, etc is drawn on top of the old text. The result
- is most notable when scrolling in a shell.
-
- You can start and stop blitscroll at any time. I suggest putting the following
- line in you s:user-startup after copying blitscroll to c:
-
- RUN >NIL: c:blitscroll
-
- To stop blitscroll, just break it's process.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Use this program at your own risk. Not every program will be compatible with
- blitscroil, as some programs may rely on the new area of raster being cleared.
- Let me know which programs produce strange results, and I will make blitscroll
- use the old ScrollRaster() for these programs, or I will develop a prefs file,
- in which you can select the programs to ignore yourself.
