DEGASPIC.ACC is a Modula-2 program written in TDI's MODULA-2 ST.
It loads a PI1, PI2, or PI3 picture into memory when your machine is
booted and then you can display the picture by selecting Show Picture
from the desk accessory menu. To get back to your main screen, click
on the right mouse button.
The program will take the first DEGAS picture in the proper
resolution on your boot disk and load it, so you can have a low, medium,
and a high res pic on disk if you boot from all three resolutions.
The only bad thing I know of about this program is that it takes
up RAM. A 32000 byte buffer is needed to swap the screens. To help with
the RAM problem, if you find that you need more memory, roll the
mouse so the pointer would be in the extreme upper left corner of
the screen (if you could see the mouse pointer) and press the
right button. You will be returned to your work screen as usual,
but the picture buffer will also be released for your use.
Also remember that if you change resolutions and read the
program again, another 32K will be used. To avoid this, if
you are going to change resolution from the desktop, use a disk
other than the one with DEGASPIC.ACC on it, or have a lot of extra
RAM to spare, or free up the buffer before you switch resolutions.
This program can be freely distributed. If you like it then help
feed the hungry by donating some food or some money. We're all in this
world together.
