MVG: v 1.20i (and up)
MODULE: DISPATCH.prg
Date: 01/18/90
Functions: 2
1) Provides a file_selector for Module selection. This is
intended as a stop-gap measure to execute a module that
is not listed in your current .MOD file.
The MVG Packet is passed thru DISPATCH to the recipient module.
The default Drive and Path are temporarily changed to that
of the selected program (selection need not be an MVG module).
Upon exit of the 'module' the original drive:\path are restored.
2) A ClipBoard Utility: DISPATCH.prg captures the <Alt-Help> screen_
dump vector and redirects it's output to MVG's ClipBoard buffer.
This is, of course, IF MVG had sufficient memory to allocate the
ClipBoard buffer at power-up.
DISPATCH will first copy the screen to MVG's clipboard and then
flash the screen to indicate all went well.
Not all programs allow Alt-Help to produce a screen_dump. Others
may fiddle with additional vectors that might cause havoc. The
best method to discover what applications will work and which won't
is to experiment.
I've tested a number and the results follow:
------- OK --------
PageStream (softlogik)
TouchUp (migraph)
Wercs (hisoft)
Degas (tom hudson)
IMG_CAT (chet walters)
CLIP_ART (chet walters)
SCAN_RSC (dr. bob)
SHP2SHP (dr. bob)
PicSwitch7
-------- NOPE ------------
