Both of these these programs are kind of unfinished -- the original idea
behind WINWRI was to write a windowing text editor, and SHEET was supposed
to accept numbers in an array and make a bar chart representing an active
range.
TO USE --
WINWRI-- program starts with cursor in middle of screen. use arrow keys to
move cursor to NW corner of first window. Press <enter> to anchor the
corner. Now use cursor keys to locate the SE corner of the window, and
press <enter> to anchor this. Now you can write (sort of) in the window.
To make more windows, press F1. To jump to different open windows, use F3.
F2 deletes windows, and F5 moves them around.
SHEET -- general idea here is to have a spreadsheet like deal with a
window that shows the values of the data in the highlighted range in
bar-chart format. Obviously product is unfinished. Things to note include
use of event-loop approach to update the two windows after each keystroke
( as well as the mini-window that shows date and time), and the use of
direct output to screen memory to update screen after each pass through
event loop (any other approach would be way too slow -- even this can be
kind of slow on the 8088.)
