This RULE25.LBR file contains RULE.COM, CLS.COM, CLS.ASM,
CLS24.COM, and 25.ASM.
RULE.COM will put a column rule, in reverse video, on the 25th
line of video-able Kaypros. It will stay there through
whatever programs you run, and it is quite handy when running
such programs as VDO, PERFECT WRITER, or your favorite
spreadsheet--in short, anytime you need a visual fix on placing
your text or graphics. It is derived from 25.ASM, which is
included here.
The rule can be erased by invoking CLS.COM, which will also set
other video attributes to default. The source for this CLS.COM
is Steve Sanders's KP-CLS.ASM, and it is also included. Note that
the "clear" section can be edited to do selective clearing
functions.
For example, CLS24.COM, also derived from CLS.ASM, and included
here, clears the screen of everything BUT the 25th line. That
tidies everything up neatly but leaves the rule in for the next
job.
With a submit file, to wit:
RULE
PROGRAM
CLS
you can set up the rule, run the program, and then
automatically clear the screen.
None of the above .com programs takes up much space; they
should fit economically aboard your hard disk or the floppy
that contains your editing files.
