- SCREEN-SAVE
-
- This program is from Computer Shopper June 1986.
- Copyright 1986 Andrew M Fried
- See page 102-108
-
- This is a memory resident utility which will save consecutive
- screen dumps to disk labeled as screen.000, etc. The program is
- explained in detail in the text and the source is heavily
- commented. You may wish to look at it if you are interested in assembler.
-
- I called the .com file SCRN2DSK to avoid confusion with the
- screen blanking utilities. The copyright notice was abbreviated
- to save a little space. I also took the liberty of removing the
- code which added a line-feed to each screen line, as none of the
- editors i use require them. If you want (need) them, the source
- code is included in the .asm file; uncomment and re-assemble.
-
- As 80% of the resident code is a buffer, I wonder if a talented
- code writer couldn't reduce the buffer to a line size unit, dump
- the buffer a line at a time, and squeeze the size down to under
- 1K. Also, the first half of the bootstrap routine is optional and
- the copyright seems like it could be seriously reduced.
