BBL is a device driver that displays characters written to it as
large block letters on the screen. It uses no interrupts and is a
passive, output-only device driver, acting only when it receives
characters. Distribution files for BBL:

This file.
BBL.SYS
The BBL device driver, to be loaded by config.sys.
BBL.ASM
The source file for the BBL device driver.
MAKEFILE
The make file for BBL.
make makes BBL.SYS
make doc makes the doc files
make test makes the testing program
make clean removes files for fresh remake
BBL-TEST.EXE
BBL-TEST.C
Testing program for BBL. Demonstrates the commands and
operating modes for BBL. The .EXE version is compiled using
only 8086 instructions.
BBL-DEMO.BAS
Demonstrates the use of BBL in BASIC (written for QBASIC but
should be compatible with others, e.g., GWBASIC).
BBL-MAN.TEX
The source file for the BBL user's manual. Written in LaTeX.
Uses MANPAGE.STY
BBL-PLM.TEX

Written in LaTeX.
BBL-MAN.PS
BBL-PLM.PS
Postscript versions of the user's manual and
programmer's logic manual.
MANPAGE.STY
Style description for Unix-style man pages for LaTeX. Used in
BBL user's manual.
TSTBBL.ASM
TASM source code for prototyping techniques used to
display chars in BBL. Useful for debugging purposes if
you decide to tinker with BBL source code.
TSTCMD.ASM
TASM source code for prototyping techniques for processing
command-line options for the device driver. Useful for
debugging if you decide to add command-line options.
