- FEATURES
- -------------------------------------------------------
-
- WHAT IS IT ?
-
- SCRCOUNT is a memory resident programm developed due to a need of
- help when screen addresses are wanted for direct screen handeling,
- while programming in assembler.
- If you programm in assembly language, you must know how it feels,
- to spend half the night, counting your ram addresses on the screen,
- and the other half changing the code, because you were off by two
- or three offsets.
- With SCRCOUNT no more headache and no more rewriting of all the string
- handeling routines because of wrong addresses.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- HOW DOES IT WORK ?
-
- SCRCOUNT is extremely simple to use. Once loaded in memory, Scrcount
- is going to wait for you to call him.
- Run the application you are working on, bring up the screens where you
- need help, (like finding addresses for reverse video, when creating menu
- option bars ...) then call SCRCOUNT by depressing <ALT-Z>.
- You will then see the reference bar appear on the lower right corner
- of the screen and SCRCOUNT's trademark on the lower right corner.
-
- CURSOR MOVEMENT
- ---------------
- The UP arrow will move the cursor 1 row up address -160.
- The DOWN arrow will move the cursor 1 row down address +160.
- The RIGHT arrow will move the cursor +1 column address +2.
- The LEFT arrow will move the cursor -1 column address -2.
- The HOME key will move the cursorUP+left.
- The PgUp key will move the cursor UP+RIGHT.
- The END key will move the cursor DOWN+LEFT.
- The PgDn key will move the cursor DOWN+RIGHT.
-
- DEC means -> decimal address.
- HEX means -> hexadecimal address.
- COL is the current column as reference for use with BIOS's INT 10H.
- ROW is the current row as reference for use with BIOS's INT 10H.
-
- ESCAPE
- ------
- The <ESC> keys will take you back to were you started.
- The original position of the cursor will then be restored, as well
- as the content of the last screen line before the call to SCRCOUNT.
-
- PRINT
- -----
- The <P> key will bring up a window asking you for a reference
- label. You can enter up to 14 characters. If you go over this
- limit the printout will automatically start.
- If not, just press ENTER.
- During the printout, the label name and the status line will
- be printed.

-
- Could you please let me know if you experience any problems
- With my product. I will gladely fix any bugs. They usuelly do
- not take too long to fix on such small products.
- I spent a whole night trying different routines to make SCRCOUNT
- print correctly and I think this one works well. But we never know
- with bugs, they come out when they feel like it so I'll be patient.
-
- I would like to thank TeSeRact for their library of routines, help in
- the realisation of TSR (Terminate but Stay Resident) programms.
- If you want to write TSR's I would strongly recommend this product.
- This TSR took me two days to write, without the TeSeRact's product,
- it might have taken more than six month.
-
- If you find this programm usefull, please send me the modest sum
- of $5.00. If you have any problem with the software, write me at

- SCRCOUNT RELEASES
-
- October, 1988 Initial release of the programm.
-
- October, 1988 Quick fix of the hotkey <ALT-F10>, changed to
- <ALT-Z>, for compatibility with D86
- Isaacson's assembleur. D86 uses just about
- all the <ALT-F?> combinasions.
- Since this tool is memory resident, it would
- still the control from D86.
-
- Quick fix of half a bug, when the control would
- return to the application running, a green character
- would appear in the lower right corner of the screen.
- this was due to the restore routine of the programm
- that would print one too many characters.
- Since I am using a monochrome, it would not appear
- on my display.
-
- A user told me that when used inside is editor (BRIEF)
- is system was getting complitely locked up.
- I do not know yet why this happen, I tryed it insied all
- my editors EDED, Qedit wich is the one I always use and
- everithing works fine so I hope that BRIEF's users are
- not penalised. Anyway I am going to work on that ...
-
- October 1988
- Yes three different versions in the same month.
- Well SCRCOUNT is not such a big programm. So it doesn't
- take six month to fix a bug or upgrade it.
- Anyway I am quite sure that this version will be the
- last one. Small upgrade, incorporate the four keys
- HOME, END, PgDn, PgUp to move the cursor in diagonale, And the print function also incorporated.
- and incorporation of a print function for future refeerence.
- This complete version of the software is going to still
- 8288 bytes of your system 8 and a half K small price for
- such help, is'n it ???
- Thats it, use it wisely and ... don't forget my 5 bucks !
-
-
-
- December 1988
- The latest release of the TeSseRact library,(with minor
- bug fixes), brings me to this 4th release of the product.
- It is the same software, but it might work with BRIEF now
- for whoever experienced a problem with it.
- Please let me know if it finally works with BRIEF.
