-
- QSCR (QuickScreen converter) generates an executable COM file
- from a text file, allowing much faster display of text
- screens than the DOS "echo" or "type" commands. Useful for
- setting up compact menu systems, demos and tutorials.
-
- QSCR will incorporate up to 24 lines of 80 characters from a
- text file into a COM file; the processed text can then be
- displayed rapidly by issuing the executable file name, either
- directly from DOS or from within a batch routine.
-
- When the executable COM file name is invoked, it writes
- directly to video memory instead of using the slower system
- BIOS display routines. It also writes to the correct video
- memory address for the video adapter installed (color or
- monochrome).
-
- QSCR displays a color selection box which allows
- experimentation with foreground and background colors to be
- used by the finished COM file. Colors can be set for best
- visual effect on systems with color adapters and displays.
-
- Documentation includes sample batch files for menu and
- tutorial systems.
-
-
- Hardware Requirements : IBM PC, XT, AT or compatible
- with at least 64K RAM.
