Syntax: QSCR [inFile] [outFile] [/S] (snow suppression)
QSCR (QuickScreen converter) generates an executable COM file
from a text file, allowing much faster display of text
screens than the DOS "echo" or "type" commands. Useful for
setting up compact menu systems, demos and tutorials.
QSCR will incorporate up to 24 lines of 80 characters from a
text file into a COM file; the processed text can then be
displayed rapidly by issuing the executable file name, either
directly from DOS or from within a batch routine.
When the executable COM file name is invoked, it writes
directly to video memory instead of using the slower system
BIOS display routines. It also writes to the correct video
memory address for the video adapter installed (color or
monochrome).
QSCR displays a color selection box which allows
experimentation with foreground and background colors to be
used by the finished COM file. Colors can be set for best
visual effect on systems with color adapters and displays.
Documentation includes sample batch files for menu and
tutorial systems.
Hardware Requirements : IBM PC, XT, AT or compatible
with at least 64K RAM.
Other Requirements : DOS 2.1 or later.
