Here are some utilities that will get some use out
of your mono monitor when you have a dual monitor
setup, by converting it to an electronic post-it.
DUPESCRN.COM
DUPESCRN is a tiny (27 bytes) program that copies
the first 25 lines of characters and atributes from
your color monitor to your mono monitor.
I use DUPESCRN in conjunction with make to keep the
error messages up when I go back to edit after a
less-than-sparkling compile. The following is the
contents of my go.bat:
@echo off
rem Clear the last compile's messages
cls
dupescrn
make
dupescrn
You may want to limit the number of errors bcc and
tlink will produce to keep them at less than 25 lines.
HOT_DUPE.EXE
HOT_DUPE is a TSR that does the same thing as
DUPESCRN. Press both shift keys simultaneously to copy
the color screen to the mono. Use /U to unload it. It
can be used to grab bogus program output, or to freeze
one page of an editor screen while you wander off in
the file to make errors somewhere else. If your color
monitor is in 43 or 50 line mode you will still get the
first 25 lines. One interesting use is to see how a
color program would look on a mono monitor without
changing any of the attributes.
HOT_DUPE was created using /*resident_C*/ by South
Mountain Software (201) 762-6965. There library seems
really easy to use and very robust, even if the result
is a bit bulky (11k for my 27 byte non-resident
program).
If you want either of the source files (excluding
the South Mountain stuff), you can E-mail me on CIS at
72621,2032.
If you like this software and use it regulary, good
for you.
