MonoLace: My first useful "C" project!
After modifying the monocrome program to include some color combinations
which work well under interlaced conditions, I remembered an old program
to set the interlace mode without halfing (doubling) the current screen
size. I have included it in this package as well as a program to display
the current preferences settings. I used this program along with prefer-
ences to come up with the color combinations 1-6. Combination 6 will not
work well with a true interlaced display, but is my favorite using MonoLace
alone. To use MonoLace just modify your startup-sequence to include:
MonoLace 6
Note: you DO NOT have to run this program! If you just type "MonoLace"
the "Lace" mode will be turned on using the current preferences
setting, along with a usage line. If you did this accidentally
just type "MonoLace o" and all will be well again.
How to use displaypref:
I know alot of you will not like my color combinations, so I will explain
how I used displaypref to get the numbers for color combinations 1-6.
From CLI type:
preferences
then set the color sliders with the color combinations you desire.
Then type:
Displaypref
Jot down the numbers (which are in hex) with coincide with color slots 0-3.
Then with your hex calculator (or hex conversion chart) get the decimal
equivalents. Then just replace the ones I used in case 1-6 in the "C"
source.
To compile:
The only compiler I own is Manx 3.4a (patched) so I will give a quick make
for Manx.
cc +l colors.c
ln +cd colors.o -lc32
And thats all there is to it! If you have any suggestions/comments you can
mail them to....
PLINK ID Tony*S
Later days.....
PS. If you dont have the Manx compiler,
just give me your color combinations
(in decimal) and I'll compile it and
mail it back to you. Now hows that
for a deal.
