- DC Run Rez v1.0
-
- Copyright © 1991 Double Click Software
-
- Program by Keith Gerdes and Michael B. Vederman
-
- DC Run Rez is a FREEWARE program. A FREEWARE program is one which you
- may freely distribute, but you cannot charge for it or alter the program or
- contents of the documentation in any manner. Double Click Software retains
- all copyright exclusive rights except exclusive distribution.
-
- ==============================================================================
-
- Ever get tired of having to change screen resolution to run a program?
-
- DC Run Rez will automagically switch to the selected rez before running
- the target program and then if the program has an exit [yes, some actually
- do ;) ] it restores the color palette and screen resolution before exiting.
-
- ==============================================================================
-
-
- ================
- Using DC Run Rez
- ================
-
- You must rename each program to let Run Rez know which resolution to
- switch to.
- The last letter in the extender should be one of the following:
- ST Low = 1
- ST Medium = 2
- ST High = 3
- TT Low = 4
- TT Medium = 5
- TT High = 6
- (I won't go into obvious hardware requirements.)
-
- Example:
- To run SHOOTME.PRG in low rez, rename it to SHOOTME.PR1 and run it from
- Run Rez as follows.
-
- There are two modes of operation:
- 1) Run from the desktop.
- An alert will prompt [Run File] and [Exit].
- a) Choose [Run File] to bring up the file selector.
- With the selector choose the program to run.
- Note: Selecting [Cancel] or leaving the filename blank returns
- you to the alert.
- b) Choose [Exit] to return to the desktop.
- 2) Installed application.
-
- (2) is the easiest since the program's extender must be renamed to reflect
- the resolution that the programmer wanted it to run in for Run Rez to
- operate correctly.
-
- Problem: SHOOTME.PRG comes up with an alert "must run in low rez" when
- executed from medium rez. You get very tired of either booting
- up in low rez or having to "Set Preference" to low rez.
- Solution: Rename SHOOTME.PRG to SHOOTME.PR1 and let Run Rez do its thing.
-
- NOTE:
- Programs which use GEM AES/VDI for any graphics may exhibit odd behavior.
