Installation and test:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can test Family with the set given as an example (some photos
and a sound). You should respect the folder organisation given above.
If you've got font problems, see GENS.DOC
If you've got memory problems while printing, see Print screen.
You must install Family as an application with its folder as
default folder.
How to use it?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The screen is very simple with large buttons (I wanted my little
daughter to use it easely).
Evry person appears with First and last Name, the dates (born,
died, married), one or more photos, a sound, other facts.
A button is enabled if the texte is black, disabled if it's grey.
Photos
°°°°°°
If a little square appears at the bottom of the photo, it's that
you can get other photos by clicking on it, else there's only one.
Some facts
°°°°°°°°°°
Other facts, to exit use the right button.
Hear his voice
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
A sound stops an other, there's no other way to stop it (but
exit).
Other buttons
°°°°°°°°°°°°°
You can go to the nearer of this person.
Alphabetical list
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
You can go directly to one person by clicking on it. + and -
buttons allows you to move into the list, the keyboard can be used to
access rapidely to the first letter of the names.
You can exit with the right button.
Print screen
°°°°°°°°°°°°
This function is protected: you must use a shift key while
clicking to activate it. there are three cases:
- printer not available: a bell sound is output
- old GDOS driver
Only a monochrome display is allowed, according to the
printer resolution I convert the image into 1280x960 (if
more than 360DPI) or 640x480 if less than 240DPI with a 16
grey scale. With a 120DPI printer, only 65% of the photo
can be displayed (the center).
- new GDOS driver
TGA color format is accepted, the configuration depends on
the CPX, not on Family.
The display is the same on your paper than on the screen. If Other
facts are presents, they will be displayed.
For Speedo printing, you must leave some RAM to the system, the
amount needed depends on your driver (color or not), on your Speedo
version and on your printer resolution. You should make some tests to get
the right value. This amount is specified in the name of the program
itself:
FAMI0310.PRG \ leaves 310kb
FAMI0150.PRG \ leaves 150kb
You acn go up to FAMI9999 -> close to 10Mb left for the system or
down to FAMI0000 -> nothing left, this could hang the system if you print!
(Maybe it will work on a TT if you load Family into TT ram, the ST ram is
unused).
Right Button
°°°°°°°°°°°°
Accesses a menu, the accessories and other applications (if
running under MultiTOS).
