Black Magic v1.5 NTERGAID REGISTRATION $
HYPERTEXT BLACK MAGIC NTERGAID MOUSE
Update
Hardware Requirements
Black Magic is a hypertext authoring system. The Black
Magic Reader is released into the public domain so any
hypertext information system you may create can also passed
freely.
Black Magic will requires either an EGA graphics card, a CGA
graphics card, or a Hercules card, a hard disk, and 256K of
memory for operation. Mouse support is included for
Microsoft and compatible mice. Black Magic may also be used
on VGA graphics systems, but it will operate the system in
EGA mode.
Black Magic will automatically configure itself for your
computer graphics card; however in some situations this is
not desirable. To circumvent this, Command Line options may
now be entered to force Black Magic into certain graphics
modes.
NEW!
The manual states that there are three separate reader
programs called READEGA.COM, READCGA.COM, and READHGA.COM
that are in the public domain and used to read the .MAG
hypertext files. To eliminate the inconvenience of three
separate programs, these have been combined into one called
MAGREAD.COM. MAGREAD.COM is used in exactly the same
fashion as the previous reader programs, only it adapts
automatically to your graphics system.
NEW!
The mouse may now be used to manipulate the map. To scroll
the map with the mouse, merely move the mouse to the edge of
the screen and it will scroll automatically. The mouse may
also be used to goto any map location by simply clicking the
mouse cursor on the node of the map that you wish to go to.
Additional Commands
The following commands have been added to Black Magic:
<Alt> H Show/Hide Link Markers
<Ctrl> O Search Options
NEW!
With Black Magic, Reference Link to other files can be
created. These links will simply transfer the reader to
another .MAG file when activated. THis effectively removes
the memory limitation of RAM from hypertext documents.
NEW!
Black Magic's basic printing capabilities have been greatly
enhanced since the manual was written. Since then the
following capabilities have been added:
Top Margin Control
Lines Per Page
Number Of Text Lines
Double/Single Spacing
Page Numbering
Configurable Printer Drivers
Header
Footers
And many more new features.
