- New features/bugs fixed:
-
- o Cleaned up some errors in help
- o New LOGO commands
- - getpenred,getpengreen,getpenblue,penred,pengreen,penblue
- - getscreenred,getscreengreen,...
- - getfloodred,getfloodgreen,...
- - scrollx, scrolly (LOGO procedures can now control the scrollers)
- - bitcut/bitpaste (very powerfull in logo).
- - infite range zoom.
- o Jagged turtle fixed.
- o Cleaned up garbage and order in error messages.
- o Slimmer commander.
- o Save and restore image now works again and it uses ".BMP" format.
- This opens up a lot of possibilties. You can load in work from
- other applications and visa-versa. Instead of posting your childs
- work on the frige you can make it you windows background !!!.
- o Printing fixed on most printers.
- o And as usual lots of little bug fixes.
-
- To Install it:
-
- 1) UnZip MSWLOGO21.ZIP into a directory (e.g. c:\logo)
-
- 2) UnZip LOGOLIB.ZIP (included in MSWLOGO21.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.
- The 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 dorectory (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 (this applies to 3.1 only). I'll try to come
- up with a better solution soon.
-
- 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" in the "Input Box" (out of bounds at end of demo is normal).
- Note: "DEMO" is a logo program in the library, it's not an internal command.
-
- Standard features:
-
- o Supports Text
- o Cut and Paste.
- o Floodfill.
- o penwidth.
- o Save and restore images in .BMP 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 Real mode is not supported.
- o Pause and Trace buttons are there but not implemented yet.
- o pots, goodbye still not working.
- o printing on (very few) printers still doesn't work.
- o Need to make save/restore image smarter (less memory, disk and cpu).
- o LOGO does not use the capabilities of 256-color Video Drivers.
- o NOTE: If your using a Video driver that supports more than 16 colors
- and find LOGO sluggish try reducing to a 16-color. If your disk
- is thrashing while running LOGO you probably do not have enough
- physical memory to support the number of colors your driver is
- using. I'll try to make LOGO more flexible around this (e.g.
- variable size work surface).
-
- Wish list:
-
- o Need sound/multimedia support.
- o needs debug support.
- 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.
