- On January 4, 1986, procedure Heap2Scr was placed in the public
- domain as an addition to Boosters. A recent freeware product,
- Boosters is a collection of assembler-based programmer utilities
- for Turbo Pascal (tm).
-
- Heap2Scr ('Heap to screen') is defined as follows:
-
- Procedure Heap2Scr ( Page : HeapBuf;
- X1 : ColumnType;
- Y1 : RowType;
- X2 : ColumnType;
- Y2 : RowType;
- X3 : ColumnType;
- Y3 : RowType ) ; external 'Heap2Scr.com';
-
- Description: Heap2Scr copies a block from a page on the heap to the
- video display. The coordinates of the block on the heap
- are given by X1,Y1 (upper left corner) and X2,Y2 (lower
- right corner). Heap2Scr copies the block to the screen
- beginning at X3,Y3 (upper left corner).
-
- Note: Unlike RestoreScreen, which copies an entire page of the
- heap to video memory, Heap2Scr copies only the defined
- block. This makes it convenient to store several windows
- of information on a single page of heap, then display them
- individually as needed.
-
- Example: See the demo program, XHeap2Sc (.pas and .com), which
- is being archived with this readme file.
-
- The Boosters Utilities are freeware, which means programmers are encouraged
- to use and share them. To those who find Boosters to be of value in their
- work, a donation of an amount indicated below would be much appreciated.
