Welcome to Eagle Performance Software!
This a demonstration of high performance software for Turbo C and Turbo
Pascal! DESQQWIK.C must be compile with files found in QWIKC20.ARC written
in MASM 4 and made into a library for Turbo C 2.0. It uses the new PS/2
video detection scheme and applies it to other machines as well. QWIKC20
can use both the CRT screen and create virtual screens. This demo shows
that QWIKC20 works superbly in multi-tasking environments like DESQview.
Shareware - These routines are the fastest routines available today, and
the license fee is between $29 and $39 depending on your application of
private or commercial use.
Eagle Performance Software has developed identical products for both Turbo
C and Turbo Pascal. Our pledge is to provide you quality products with
unparalleled performance and ease of use.
QWIK
QWIK - For direct screen video, QWIK is the highest performance screen
writing tools available today for all text modes in any video
configuration. QWIK provides capabilities far beyond in the unit/library
that comes with your compiler. Here are some of the features:
. Writes on all IBM compatible computers, displays and adapters
including MDA, CGA, EGA, MCGA, VGA, 8514/A, Hercules and 3270
PC.
. Superior video detection routine.
. Eliminates snow and flicker.
. Writes directly to the screen in absolute rather than relative
coordinates.
. Writes in all text modes and column modes.
. Writes on all video pages.
. Writes on virtual screens in RAM.
. Writes text and attribute, text only, or attribute only.
. Reads strings, characters and attributes.
. Uses End-Of-String (EOS) marker for quick string chaining.
. Provides standardized cursor shapes for all adapters.
. Enhanced cursor movement.
. Compatible with DESQview and similar multitasking environments.
. Up to 2300% faster than standard direct screen writing.
. Only 2.7k bytes of code if all utilities are used (approx. 40).
. Optimized by the compiler/linker and drops unused code.
. Used in all other Eagle products.

WNDW
WNDW - For multi-level virtual windows, WNDW is the highest performance
window utilities available today. It offers very powerful utilities for
full window control and management you probably never thought possible.
They are simple and yet very powerful with high speed and tight code. With
WNDW, you can choose the absolute writing routines of QWIK, the window-
relative writing routines of WNDW, and even customize your own. Here are
some of the features you will discover:
. Uses the powerful direct screen writing routines of QWIK.
. Up to 254 fixed or virtual windows can be on the screen at one time.
. Extremely high-speed virtual screens in RAM (up to 40 times faster).
. Virtual windows are fully updated on screen, even if covered!
. Virtual windows have virtual titles.
. Fully supported hidden windows saved in RAM.
. Fully supports all video pages.
. Adjustable-rate moving, resizing, and scrolling.
. All windows can be randomly accessed, not just stacked or tiled.
. 28 window-relative writing routines.
. 15 different border styles with shadow and zoom effects.
. Full line drawing procedures.
. Full cursor mode control for each window.
. Writes in all text modes and column modes.
. Only 13k bytes of code if all utilities are used (approx. 70).
. Used in all other Eagle products.

Right or left justification for data entry output
Error messages for invalid data entries
Error messages for data entries out of range
. Automatic sizes and locations for menus.
. Operation by cursor keys or command keys
. Pull/Pop between work window and nested submenu(s)
. Programmable control of pull and pop sequences
. Context-senstive help
. Message lines for prompts and processing
. Full working shell for user development

On-line Shareware - The original copies have been placed on CompuServe -
Borland's Programming Forum (GO BPROGA for TP and GO BPROGB for TC) or
the IBM Programming Forum (GO IBMPRO).
The Eagle BBS - Our bulletin board system is also available, operating
24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 1200 baud, using 8N1 at (214) 539-9878.
You can access our Pascal and C products, and leave any questions or
messages.
I hope you will take the time to find out how easy it is to program
with these utilities.
