- To all concerned:
-
- Reference: Atari ST Machine Specific Programming In Assembly
- Chapter 2
-
- I am uploading chapter 2 as an ASCII file. Figures
- referenced in the chapter are contained in BOOK2IMG.ARC The
- figures that accompany the chapter are .IMG files. These files
- can be viewed via the IMGSHOW.PRG available in IMGSHOW.ARC, file
- #9440 of this library. The identification of each img file
- indicates its location of reference within the text. For
- example, FIG2_2D.IMG is the figure specified at Figure 2.2D
- within the text.
-
- Using IMGSHOW.PRG to view the figures obviates ownership of
- 1ST Word Plus in order to read the chapter. Of course, since the
- chapter is being sent as an ASCII file, none of the special
- effect graphics can be seen. Furthermore, IMGSHOW.PRG uses the
- entire screen to display the IMG files. But, at least, you will
- be able to see the figures which are referenced.
-
- To set things up so that each figure can be viewed
- individually, place all of the IMG files and IMGSHOW.PRG in the
- same directory. There are two ways in which the figures can be
- viewed.
-
- Method one:
-
- 1. Click once on IMGSHOW.PRG.
- 2. Click on Install Application under Desktop's Options
- menu. A dialog box will appear.
- 3. Type IMG as the Document Type.
- 4. Leave GEM as the Application Type.
- 5. Click on the OK button.
- 6. Click twice on the IMG file you want to view.
- 7. When the figure appears on the screen you can obtain a
- hard copy using the Alternate/Help key routine.
- 8. To exit the IMGSHOW.PRG, press the Return key.
-
- Method two:
-
- 1. Double click on IMGSHOW.PRG. A dialog box will appear.
- 2. For Show File Info: select Y.
- 3. For White Background: select Y.
- 4. For Wait For Keypress: select Y.
- 5. For Cycle: select N.
- 6. For Pause Time: leave it at <>.
- 7. Click on the PROCEED button.
- 8. As each figure appears on the screen, a data table will
- also appear, next to it. The most important information
- shown in the data table is the name of the IMG file. If
- you use the Alternate/Help key routine to obtain a hard
- copy of each figure, the IMG file name in the data table
- will identify it for future use.
- 9. After a figure appears, it will remain until the Return
- key is pressed.
- 10. The IMGSHOW.PRG will show each file once, in turn.

- Sincerely,
- Bob
