- Both of these these programs are kind of unfinished -- the original idea
- behind WINWRI was to write a windowing text editor, and SHEET was supposed
- to accept numbers in an array and make a bar chart representing an active
- range.
- TO USE --
- WINWRI-- program starts with cursor in middle of screen. use arrow keys to
- move cursor to NW corner of first window. Press <enter> to anchor the
- corner. Now use cursor keys to locate the SE corner of the window, and
- press <enter> to anchor this. Now you can write (sort of) in the window.
- To make more windows, press F1. To jump to different open windows, use F3.
- F2 deletes windows, and F5 moves them around.

- SHEET -- general idea here is to have a spreadsheet like deal with a
- window that shows the values of the data in the highlighted range in
- bar-chart format. Obviously product is unfinished. Things to note include
- use of event-loop approach to update the two windows after each keystroke
- ( as well as the mini-window that shows date and time), and the use of
- direct output to screen memory to update screen after each pass through
- event loop (any other approach would be way too slow -- even this can be
- kind of slow on the 8088.)
