BGANS 1.0 Ansi Graphics and Music View 16 APR 90
=============================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------
ABSTRACT
-------------------------------------------------------------
With the release of Gene Moody's new ANSITYPE program, I
decided to take a look at it. It was rather nice, but a big
large. With the help of one of PC Magazine's latest issues,
I was able to extract some routines that let Turbo Pascal use
play BASIC sytle play commands. The program processes all
ansi commands itself and does not require the ANSI.SYS driver
to be loaded. Wildcard viewing is also supported.
BGANS 1.1 fixes a bug in the batch display routine. Thanks
go to Michael Arnett for finding it.
-------------------------------------------------------------
EXECUTION AND COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
-------------------------------------------------------------
To get a list of all command line options, typing BGANS with
no command line options will display a "help" screen.
You must note that the /S: function may not be acurate. I
tried to make it as fined-tuned as possible though.
You may place a ^A as the first character of any line and
then a description after it. If the program encounters this,
it will display the information on the bottom status line.
Example:
Screen designed by Michael Arnett - First Place
The status line will show something like:
ANSIPIC.ANS │ Screen designed by Michael Arnett - First Place
A good drawing by Rory Glasgow is included to show off the
features of BGANS.
