- Below you can find Qfix ver 1.01, my answer to QEdit's annoying habit
- of not restoring the text screen upon exit if it is not registered.
-
- In addition, it will work with any other non-TSR program that you
- would like to have restore the screen when it is finished. It
- has the following neat features:
-
- - works with CGA/EGA/VGA/SVGA cards (not MDA or herculces, though)
- - works with any video mode from 40x25 to 132x60
- - Turbo C source included
- - uses no system memory while main application is active
-
- The program works by capturing the screen, saving it to a disk
- file (preferably a ramdisk,) executing the program, and restoring
- the screen from disk.
-
- Future versions should support Hercules, MDA, and should save the
- screen to XMS or EMS memory.
-
- I wrote this, and put it in the public domain. I sincerely hope that
- screen saver authors will start supporting 132 x ( > 25) video modes,
- and can get some examples from my code.
