- Okay, here are a few simple dox for this toy:
-
- To page down by 16 characters, press the right arrow key.
- To page up by 16 characters, press the left arrow key.
- To scroll down by 1 character, press the down arrow key.
- To scroll up by 1 character, press the up arrow key.
- To quit, press ESC.
- Finally, this program has two modes, tiny mode, and not so tiny mode.
- The toggle between the two is pressing the DEL key. In tiny mode, each
- time the window becomes inactive, the window will shrink to the size of
- the average person's little toe. Meanwhile, in not so tiny mode, the
- window will always display the current part of the table. I did this
- because some people might use editors that are on a different screen, and
- thus not care about how cluttered their CLI window is.
-
- The reason for the ESC to quit as opposed to a close gadget is that if
- I were to put the close gadget back in and keep the tiny dimensions, there
- would be only two pixels worth of drag area. It would be findable, but silly.
-
- As for the disclaimer stuff. This is mine! Ha, so there! However, feel
- free to use this all you like for personal stuff. There is code in here
- that was once a part of Manx stuff, mainly the trimmer...er...butchered
- startup stuff. Although there is little left that is their's, as I don't
- understand at least one of the lines of it, I'll stick in a Manx copyright
- notice regarding the startup and exit stuff.
-
- The startup and exit stuff is Copyright Manx Software Systems (c) 1987.
-
- Aside from that, the rest of the code is:
- Copyright A. Caleb Gattegno (c) 1988.
-
- With that done with, have fun.
-
- By the way, I've trimmed this down about as far as I can without getting
- into assembler, but there may always be a byte or two left that are excess.
- In the interest of puniness and boredom, I may just pop into assembler and
- cut out a few more bytes and perhaps count clock cycles. Then again,
- maybe not. As for now, if you find this thing too big, well, sorry.
