----------------------------------------------------------------- N_ALTHLP.PRG 2.3 N_ALTHLP.CPX 2.4 (C) N_Software - Noud van Kruysbergen 28/11/92 ----------------------------------------------------------------- N_ALTHLP enables you to save the screen to a file. This can be a Degas compatible PI? file (for all resolutions) or a GEM IMG file (for mono resolutions only). N_ALTHLP.PRG should be copied to the AUTO folder of the boot device, and N_ALTHLP.CPX has to be copied to the CPX directory. The AUTO folder program installs a new + rou- tine, so the normal screen dump that will appear when these buttons are pressed does not occur any more. Instead the screen information will be save to the file N_AHxxxx.PI? or N_AHxxx.IMG. N_ALTHLP.CPX allows you to switch between IMG or PI? files, and allows you edit the number xxxx of the next screen-file-dump. The actual status (dump to file or not), the next file number and the filetype can be saved. If the file N_AHxxxx already exists then N_AHxxxx+1 is created. If an error occured during saving (disk full or whatever) then a bell will tell you so. N_ALTHLP allows you to dump the screen, independent of the size, as a Degas PI? file (although you need a program that will load such a file to edit it!). Monochrome screens can also be saved to an IMG file, with a maximum screen width of 1500 pixels (which limit has not been violated yet). N_ALTHLP fills a cookie with id NAH3 and changes the $502 vector using the XBRA protocol with the same id. The new screeendump routine is resident in memory, but uses only 834 bytes! N_ALTHLP.PRG does not work without the CPX: the default status is set to 0. N_ALTHLP is strictly Public Domain. It may not be sold, only copied! We do not take any responsibility for the (mis)use of this program.
