In this directory are some examples of VIDEO HANDLING FUNCTIONS. Some of
them you can compile and use as programming utilities.
The demo example/program is located at DEMO\ subdirectory in CRT2_0.ZIP
main subdirectory.
Example of enhanced VIDEO HANDLING FUNCTIONS:
In the subdirectory PLUS\ inside this subdirectory you will find a example
that uses a enhanced version of mkline and crtframe - in fact crtframe is the
same, but crtframe_mat is enhanced by the example - that enables drawing menu
boxes with triple and quadruple outlines. To enable this a bitmapped font
was created (DOSFONT\LINEDRW2.FNT) and converted to LINEDRW2.CPP with
DOSFONT\FNTTOCPP.EXE.
The example file is PLUS.CPP. XMLINE.C and LINEDRW2.CPP aren't different
examples, they are only required by PLUS.CPP.
PLUS.CPP has in it's first lines a comment explaining how to compile it.
You may try also to use these enhanced versions of mkline and crtframe in
your own programs, to do so, include XMKLINE.C, LINEDRW2.CPP and some lines
from PLUS.CPP in your example.
Sure it worths seeing this example.
WARNING:
If you are running these examples under a MS-Windows MS-DOS prompt, be sure
that the MS-DOS prompt is running in full screen mode, because some of the
functions used by the examples may not be effective in a MS-DOS window.
