- MswLogo Version 2.0 for Micro-Soft Windows 3.X is ready !!!
- ------------------------------------------------------------
-
- If you even liked MswLogo 1.X even just a little you'll Love
- version 2.0.
-
- LOCATION: itrc::/millspub/mswlogo20.zip (this is a DEC internal location)

- ----cut here----
-
- New features/bugs fixed:
-
- o Command Recall/Edit (Works Great !!!).
-
- o Halt button (you don't have to abort LOGO to stop it :-) ).
-
- o Yields to other processes (it should of done this a long time ago,
- I'm learning).
-
- o Yielding is "switchable" (Yielding slows things a little, so you can
- shut it off if you like).
-
- o Popup dynamic status window (shows heading, pos, pen status etc.)
-
- o Look and feel or Borland Windows Products (real sharp !!!).
-
- o And as usual lots of little bug fixes.
-
- o pencolor order fixed (everything is RGB, or is it RBG, oh shoot,
- I think it's right).
-
- o I really think it should work on V3.0 Windows now, I did find some
- problems (But V3.0 users should still read the bugs list).
-
- o Aspect Ratio should now be correct on all printers.
-
- o To and readlist generate Popup windows for input.
-
- o Supports Text weight (along with size, angle, etc.)
-
- To Install it (note this is changed slightly):
-
- 1) UnZip MSWLOGO20.ZIP into a directory (e.g. c:\logo)
-
- 2) UnZip LOGOLIB.ZIP (included in MSWLOGO20.ZIP) into LIB (e.g. c:\logo\lib)
-
- Note: If you do not use c:\logo as the root you must set the
- environment variable LOGOPATH to where you put it (e.g.
- set logopath=d:\games\logo in autoexec.bat)
-
- 3) Copy BWCC.DLL (included in the .ZIP) to anywhere in your PATH.
- This could be where you place LOGO (as long as it's in your PATH).
- When I say PATH here I don't mean LOGOPATH. The desired place is
- in your root windows directory (e.g. c:\windows).
-
- 4) Start Windows and add Icon as follows:
-
- a) Select the applications (or other) icon box.
-
- b) Go into Program manger FILE menu and click on New.
-
- c) Select Program Item and click OK.
-
- d) Enter the command for logo (e.g. c:\logo\logo).
-
- e) Include a working directory (e.g. c:\logo\work) or you'll have ".lg"
- files all over the place.
-
- Start it from Windows by double clicking the Logo Icon
-
- Start it from DOS by typing "win logo" at DOS prompt (assuming logo.exe
- is in your PATH).
-
- Try typing "DEMO" at the "*" prompt (out of bounds at end of demo is normal).
-
- Standard features:
-
- o Supports Text
-
- o Floodfill (except printing, still working on this)
-
- o penwidth.
-
- o Save and restore images in metafile format.
-
- o screencolor (background).
-
- o 16.7 million pen and background colors (using windows dithering).
-
- o Standard Windows Hypertext Help.
-
- o Standard Windows Printing.
-
- o Supports separate library and work area.
-
- Bugs / Basic Missing features:
-
- o getpen incompatible with pencolor.
-
- o Some printers (maybe all) will not handle floodfills.
- I beleive I will have it fixed soon.
-
- o Real mode is not supported.
-
- o Pause and Trace buttons are there but not implemented yet.
-
- o HALT and READLIST, and TO (edit is much easier to use anyway)
- seem a little flakey sometimes.
-
- ****************** V3.0 Windows Users ****************************
-
- o Save and Restore is disabled for V3.0 Windows.
-
- o You can only print an image once !!! per drawing, I know that sounds
- silly but that's the way it is. After printing you can clear the screen
- and draw (NOT refresh) the image again and print again. It will remind
- you of this after printing.
-
- o If I fail to detect V3.0 correctly (possibly on OEM versions of windows)
- and it hangs after a second print. Then don't print and send me mail of
- your configuration.
-
- Wish list:
-
- o Need sound blaster support.
-
- o needs debug support.
-
- o need zoom in and out.
-
- o Undo/Redo
-
- The Core of this Version of Logo comes from a project done by Boston Childrens
- Museum and Lincoln Sudbury Regonal High School. The Port to Windows was done
- by George Mills Digital Equipment Corporation. Digital Equipment Corporation
- takes no responsibility for the software.
-
- There is also a DOS version (with out the added functionality added to MswLOGO)
- is available. Same location as MswLOGO.
