Program and Text
by
Brian Crosthwaite
[DAVE'S PREVIEW]: I know this will not
make some people happy, but I don't
use GEOS. I think it is cool that we
have brothers and sisters in the C=
world who make their officially
obsolete computer march to a 21st
Century drum. Without a SuperCPU and
additional memory, GEOS was just too
clunky for me. In 1998 I needed a 400
Mhz Pentium to do video processing.
Suddenly, I was in the world of
Windows.
But that doesn't mean LOADSTAR totally
ignores GEOS. Here is Brian
Crosthwaite with another of his sweet
miracles for our Graphic Environment
Operating System. Enjoy!
What, pray tell is geoNex? Well,
as with most of my programs, it should
be considered your basic time-
waisting, screen-burning, brain-
tingling, fun-thing-a-ma-jigger
(that's a technical term).
I wanted a more functional,
adjustable, Nexus. The one in
geographs works sometimes and does
apparently nothing other times. GEONEX
takes the control from the computer
and puts it into the hands of the
unsuspecting vict... I mean, user.
A better exclamation, ah,
explanation, is in the program itself
under the "WHAT?" menu item "THIS."
There are two modes:
Mode 1 that really does what it does
and
Mode 2 that lets you do what it
does, only better.
Confused yet? You will be!
As with most of my geoStuff,
pressing [^] will exit the present
madness (except printing).
Other NOTES:
If, when reading the "THIS." menu,
more than two lines of text scrolls up
off the screen and the layout looks
kinda funky, then you need to get the
"commodore" font off the disk you are
running geoNex from, as I must have
loaded it in at one time (I started
this PRG back in the last millennium,
back in 1996) and forgot and the
application just pulls it in to use.
You don't have to remove the font if
you have it, but the reading of the
screen will be messy.
It will work as is with a SuperCPU
in optimize mode under wheels 128. It
has been tested under GEOS2.0 64 & 128
only at 1MHz.
Printing via geoCable is not
possible.
And yes, since it's written in
GeoBasic, sometimes the program will
simply terminate for no reason.
Enjoy!
