Fastwrite                                                      FastTTT



Purpose   The core procedure of the unit for fast screen writes.

Declaration    Fastwrit(Col, Row, Attr:byte; St: string);external

          Col is the X coord of first char. in string (1..80)
          Row is the Y coord of string (1..25)
          Attr is the color attribute
          St is the string or text to be displayed

Uses FastTTT.

Remarks   This procedure is external and the source code is actually
          in assembly language. (See the file FastTTT.asm on the
          distribution disk, if you're interested.) I recommend you
          use the WriteAT procedure in preference to Fastwrit, because
          it can pass foreground and background colors rather then the
          combined color attribute. If the text is too long to fit on
          the screen, it will be wrapped onto the next line.



Example


               USES FASTTTT
               BEGIN
                 FASTWRITE(1,1,14,'TOP LEFT OF SCREEN');
                 FASTWRITE(59,25,ATTR(14,4),'BOTTOM RIGHT OF SCREEN;);
               END;
