- *** Introduction
-
- CygnusEd has a problem when it is opened on a CyberGraphics screen: the
- scrollbar makes strange effects on the cursor and one or more fake cursors
- appear when text is scrolled with it. It seems this happens with all
- graphics boards except for CyberVision. This small bug can be very
- annoying and can discourage to use this amazing editor on a CyberGraphics
- screen. CedFix solves this problem.
-
- CedFix works with CygnusEd Professional v3.5c (the one included with the
- magazine Amiga Computing 11/95); it should work also with version 3.5. If
- you don't use CED or CyberGraphics or you use another CED version or the
- problem doesn't exists with your system you don't need CedFix.
-
-
- *** Installation & usage
-
- Drag CedFix to the WBStartup drawer or copy the executable to C: and add
- to User-Startup a line like "C:CedFix".
-
-
- *** Details
-
- CedFix patches the ScrollRaster function of graphics.library; before
- calling the ScrollRaster, the patch calls a CED's routine that clears the
- cursor. After ScrollRaster finishes the CED's code is called again so the
- cursor reappears. When the text is scrolled with the scrollbar the cursor
- is a bit flickering but the general effect is acceptable. The patch checks
- carefully whether the function is really called by CED but the overhead for
- this check is almost null and so is the slowdown of the scroll. If not
- called by CED the patch does absolutely nothing so the ScrollRaster isn't
- really modified; for this reason this fix can't work for other programs
- that have similar problems.
