=======================================================
-----VIDEO: screen & video routines for Basic (also see WIN_MENU & GRAPHICS)
[HERCDMP]

generate the source code to add to your program.
[BIGPRT]

and printing messages containing large, bold characters. It is for QuickBasic
4.0+, and also includes some other screen routines.
[HIRESCOL]

graphics mode in CGA.
[PLOT3D]
Plot3D is BASIC code to plot a circular wave in three dimensions.
[QBFONT]
QBFont is an article that describes how to display a user-defined character
set of up to 256 characters in Hercules graphics mode using QuickBASIC or
BASCOM 6.
[QBICONS]
QBIcons is a set of 13 icons for use in your QB/PDS graphics applications.
Sample code includes a SUB for loading the icon files from disk.
[QBQuick]
QBQuick 3.0 (Roepenack, Scott; $0-$5) creates graphic displays for programs.
Screens contain full borders, filler colors, text and palette backgrounds. A
separate file is generated with all the source code for that screen mode.
[SCROLL]
Scroll is code for scrolling the screen up, down, left, right.
[SetColor]
SetColor.BAS (Zuck, Jonathan; $0) are routines that let you write to the
screen in whatever colors are already at the cursor location.
[VIDSTAT]
VideoStatus (Kelly, Sidney J.; $0) is a set of QBASIC/MASM video detection
routines. MASM source and OBJ files included, along with sample BAS source and
an EXE file to show how it works.
[SPLTSCRN]
SpltScrn splits the screen into two windows.
[BKSCREN]
BKScreen (Hewitt, Bill; $10) produces QuickBASIC code to produce a screen
display from a text file. The screen display file can then be merged or
included in your QuickBASIC program.
[DRFont]
DRFont 1.0 (Roepenack, Dawn; $10) contains 10 fonts, a QLB and source that
shows you how to use them.
[Grad]
Grad 1.1 (Long, Nick; $8) is a library for using gradient screen colors on
VGA.
[BOXDRAW]
BoxDraw (De Palma, John; $0) is QB Sub for drawing boxes of a specified size,
location, line type, and color.
[ASC4QB]
ASC4QB (Gaylord, Charles S.; $0) allows printing ASCII text anywhere on a
graphics screen, rather than on just the default text lines. The program has a
menu driven, ASCII Graphic Image file generator. It supports CGA, EGA, VGA,
and Hercules hardware. It also supplies code for making use of multicolor .AGI
files.
[PCInput]
PCInput lets you design input screens for Basic.
[SD_AID]
Screen Design Aid lets you design screens for Basic.
[Helper]
Helper helps create screens for BASIC programs.
-----GRAPHICS: drawing and plotting routines for Basic
[IMGBLD]
Image Builder 1.1 (Eggers, Paul; $10) is a graphic utility for creating
different graphic images, icons, fonts, or just shapes for use in your
QuickBASIC programs. All images created and saved may be reloaded and
modified. Requires EGA or better. Mouse is Optional.
[BSPRITE]
BSprite (Lee, David; $0) makes it easy to create "sprites" (graphics images)
from which BASIC code is generated for merging with your own to use the
graphics.
[BENTTEXT]
BentText lets you have different size text in the graphics mode.
[SHOOTER]
Shape Shooter 1.0 (Way Out West-ware; $10) lets you easily design and animate
high quality VGA graphics for games and other applications. It permits editing
of up to 64 shapes at a time. Drawing functions include line, circle, fill,
shift, and flip. QuickBasic source code is included.
[ANIMAT]
Animat shows how to do animation in QuickBasic.
[GRAFXMAS]
Graphics Master 256 (Sexton, Fred Jr.; $30) is a library of graphic routines.
It features mirror images, exploding, imploding, partial puts, virtual
screens, and more. A demonstration is included.
[BIZ_GRAF]
Business Graphics (Ford, Nelson, ASP; $30) is the source code for the programs
from the book Business Graphics for the IBM PC (Sybex, 1983) Although there
are a few simple examples, such as pictorial graphs, window zooming, a drawing
program and code for your own character set, two of the programs are complete,
major programs: one for plotting on screen and the other for a plotter.
[Designer]
Designer (Young, Jan B.; $20) is a programming tool for BASIC users working
with animated graphics. The BASICA source code is included for those who wish
