- DSHOW v1.01 April 1993 J. Elliott
- ================================================================================
-
- DSHOW is a utility to display illustrated textfiles on the screen of a PCW,
- CPC or Spectrum +3. The resolution on the Spectrum +3 is poor because pictures
- 720 pixels wide have to be greatly modified to load into a screen which even in
- 24x80 mode is only 400 pixels wide. On the CPC, the picture is compressed
- slightly to fit into the 80-column screen. DSHOW includes a help-screen; type
- DSHOW /H to see it.
-
- To get an output with no pauses between each screen, type the command SETDEF
- [NOPAGE] before using DSHOW.
-
- The instruction in the text file to include a picture is:
-
- $ @filename$
-
- The picture can be in:
-
- ╝ PCWDRAW .PIC format
- ╝ Newsdesk International format (only top 12 lines will be printed).
- ╝ .PCP or .SPC format (save in inverse video; only the top 12 lines will be
- printed)
