- The SmallFont routines are protected by copyright. However, you may use them in your own programs free
- of charge. The SmallFont collection may be distributed under the following conditions:
-
- 1) All original files are included: CREATE.BAT, EXAMPLE.BAS, EXAMPLE.TXT, MAKELIBS.BAT, SMALLFNT.BAS,
- SMALLFNT.BI, and SMALLFNT.DOC.
- 2) No fee of over $10.00 may be charged for distribution. This applies specifically to physical
- copies and is not meant to prevent distribution by telecommunications.
-
- This is an example of the small font designed for CGA hi-res graphics mode (SCREEN 2). It is not able
- to handle lowercase or graphics characters, but in return for these limitations, gives you a vast amount
- of screen space. Rather than the 80x25 display provided by the normal font, this small font allows for
- a display of 106x33. This gives you 75% more space to play around with.
-
- The MAKELIBS.BAT file converts SMALLFNT.BAS into SMALLFNT.LIB and SMALLFNT.QLB. You may need to modify
- the reference to BQLB45 to BQLB41 or BQLB40, depending on which version of QuickBASIC you are using.
- The routines are designed for use with QuickBASIC 4.x and/or BASCOM 6.x.
-
- The CREATE.BAT file compiles EXAMPLE.BAS and links it to the SMALLFNT.LIB library which was created by
- MAKELIBS.BAT. If you are unfamiliar with libraries, examine EXAMPLE.BAS and CREATE.BAT to see how to
- use them with your programs. Alternately, you could simply include the code from SMALLFNT.BI and
- SMALLFNT.BAS directly into your program.
-
- I have created these routines as a prototype for the assembly language version, to be included in my
- shareware library for assembly programming, ASMWIZ. If you are interested in doing assembly language
- programming, you may wish to download a copy of ASMWIZ from a BBS near you. It contains over 100
- routines for doing just about anything you might want, and is expanding rapidly. Source code is
- available to registered users.
