- FAST COLOR DISPLAY ON THE EGA.
- WRITTEN BY L. NEMEC.
- MAY 1986, PUBLIC DOMAIN SOFTWARE.
-
- There are two assembler programs included, both in a source form
- and as modules in a Microsoft format library. Egamove.asm
- implements an equivalent of fast write on a display screen from
- a video buffer. Since no calculations for individual pixels are
- necessary, the screen is displayed about seven times faster than
- using the corresponding option of the INT 10. It takes about
- 20 second to fill each pixel individually (but sequentially).
- Screen display buffer stores information for two pixels in one
- byte (16 color displays).
-
- The second program, filio.asm, allows reading and writing of
- files larger than some 58 K (and smaller than 64 K) from MS
- Pascal. Because of the language overhead, no object larger than
- some 58 K can be declared in MS Pascal 3.3.
-
- Program egadispl (both source and executable code included)
- demonstrates the egamove routine for the three graphics modes
- available.
-
- Source code is also provided for program mandem which was
- uploaded on the hardware forum for demonstration of display of
- Mandelbrot set files in the format designed by Marshall Dudley.
- See archive mandeg.arc on the hardware forum.
-
- Please, let me know how the software works. Since comments are
- kept to a minimum, I will be glad to explain the mysterious.
