- BIGCHAR (Ver. 1.0) Draws large characters on screen
- ==================
-
- Usage: BIGCHAR text
-
- This program demonstrates fonts, that is the PC character set by
- drawing your text in big at the center of the screen. The maximum
- length of the text is 10. Foreign and special characters are
- allowed.
-
-
- BIGTIME (Ver. 1.0) Date and time in big characters
- ==================
-
- Usage: BIGTIME text
- or BIGTIME ?
-
- This program demonstrates fonts, that is the PC character set by
- drawing time and date in big on the screen. To exit the program,
- press any key.
-
-
- PLOTDEMO (Ver 1.2) (P)lots of different functions
- ==================
-
- This program devised together with Matti Heikkilä, (Lic.Tech.)
- demonstrates assorted mathematical functions drawn in the graphics
- mode.
-
- The program was originally written in Turbo Pascal 4.0, and is
- factually an experiment of including the graphics drivers into the
- .exe file. The use of this program would otherwise require having
- the driver files available on disk during runtime, which obviously
- would be cumbersome.
-
- The following question will be posed to you:
- USE CGA GRAPHICS (n,Y)?
-
- You have to choose your graphics driver. If you choose Y, CGA
- hi-resolution graphics will be attempted. Depending on your
- facilities and configuration, this may succeed or fail. If you
- choose N, the program will attempt to autodetect your graphics
- facilities and will act accordingly. If it is possible, you should
- opt to the CGA graphics driver, since the program has been written
- on a CGA system.
-
- Notice, that depending on your graphics facilities and
- configuration, attempting unsuitable graphics may blank the screen.
- It may even cause a a crash, and you shall have re-boot your PC.

-
- TURBDEMO (Ver 1.1) Turbo Pascal graphics demo
- ==================
