- These libraries are designed for Fitted Software Tools Modula 2 Compiler.
- The routines in Text provide an alternative to the supplied InOut library. In
- Text, the programer has better control over the cursor and colors by using
- quick BIOS routines instead of DOS routines. These routines can not be
- redirected through any means (every good thing has its tradeoffs). The actual
- format to call the procedures was designed to be as close as possible to the
- routines in InOut.
- Graphics provides routines for graphics, something not included in
- Fitted Software's libraries. I have no way to test the routines for EGA or
- TANDY, but all the routines work for CGA and Leading Edge graphics boards.
- Windows provides some low level routines for window making and
- handling. I tried to make these as fklexible as possible so that you can
- make more complex, higher level window modules built off of this library.
- Procedures are simmilar to those in Text, but are defined on the current
- window coordinates, not the screen coordinates.
- Screen provides some procedures to help in window management and
- general text screen handling procedures.
- DOSdisk provides some DOS routines for disk and subdirectory
- handling that are not provided in the original libraries.
- The main drawback to routines in these libraries is that these
- procedures do little if any error checking. This may produce strange results
- in ReadInt and ReadCard durring overflows, and may cause the computer to
- corrupt your data area if you try to enter a string too long in ReadString
- under rare circumstances. Under normal usage, everything works perfectly
- though. Any questions, coments, or sugestions, try to send me a message on
- this BBS.
