RVSSCRN Desk Accessory - Documentation
This program may not be distributed without this documentation.
--required--
Developed using TDI Modula-2/ST. 0272-742796 (UK), (214) 340-4942 (USA)

RVSSCRN is a desk accessory for Monochrome STs. It should work on 1 meg STs
but I have only tested it on my unexpanded 520ST.
I love the monochrome monitor but have always been annoyed by the fact that its
display is black on white instead of white on black. So, I decided to write
this utility. What it does is reverse the screen colors so that they are
white on black - all formerly black pixels are turned white and vice versa.
You may also restore the normal colors with it.
To use RVSSCRN, install the .ACC file on a disk that you will boot with.
Once you have booted, you may use it by selecting the "Reverse Screen" option
under the desk menu. This will give you a choice of a Reversed or Normal
screen. Choose the one you would like.
RVSSCRN works by redefining color palette index 0 with either black or
white, depending on which option you choose. It uses the screen's handle
(obtained with GrafHandle [graf_handle for C folks.. I wish I had a C
compiler :-) ]).
I hope you enjoy this, and please send me any comments on BITNET.
