FA0FA0FA0FA0FA000200AFA0Extentions:
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0 If you own STOS, but haven't yet used extentions, then get
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0 ready for a treat.
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0 Stos Basic is a modular language, meaning that extra commands
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0 can be added by machine code programers. Usually, these extra
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0 commands add in flexibility and speed by replacing existing
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0 STOS commands
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0 In the Control extention is a new Sprite engine
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0 that is compatible with hardware scrolling, and
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0 uses preshifting to maximise speed.
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0 The original Stos sprites were not working on
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0 any "virtual screen" bigger than 320*200.
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0 New commands offered by extentions are available to you
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0 on this disk.
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA000200AFA0 In the folder "EXTENTIO.NS" are the files you require
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0 Copy the files finishing with .EX* into your Stos library folder.
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0 Copy the files finishing with .EC* into your compiler folder.
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0 The last letter represented here by "*", is unique to every
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0 extention.
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0 When you next load STOS, the extentions will be loaded
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0 automatically.
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0 If you have other extentions already installed then please realise
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0 that if the extentions last letter is changed, and you load
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0 demo files, the commands will not be found when run.
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0 So please copy them as they are and don't mess the letters around.
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0 If you use the missing link, beware of memory shortage, as all
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0 extentions eat memory.
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0 In issues 2 and 3, more will be shown of Controls potential.
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0 Please read the files in the Control.S_W folder, and register if
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0 you think you will use the extention. I did, and I'm glad.
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0 The registered version comes with a lot of excellent demo
FA0FA0FA0FA0FA0000001FA0 files, and extra commands.
