- SAVEIT dBASE III(1) Screen Save Call Routine
- ⌐ 1986, Kenneth E. Wilson, Digital Equipment Corporation
-
- This program is provided to the DECdomain with the condition that it
- not be sold or included in any application which is sold. This program
- is not warranted or guarranteed nor is it supported by its author. Any
- problems found in this application should be logged in the dBASE notesfile.
-
- This routine when loaded will save the Rainbow video screen to a specified
- disk file. If the file cannot be created an error message will appear on the
- screen and the routine will exit normally. Nothing will be written to the
- screen unless the above error occurs. This routine is intended ONLY for
- the following system configuration: RAINBOW 100A/B, dBASE III V1.1 on
- MS-DOS(3) V2.11 or later.
-
- To enable use of SAVEIT issue the following dBASE III command:
- .LOAD SAVEIT
-
- The call is structured as follows:
-
- CALL SAVEIT WITH 'filename'
- ^ ^
- |- Function |- Standard valid MS-DOS filespec
- name
-
- The screen that is saved with this routine is in the format of the screen
- image file saved by the program DO-IT and SWITCH-IT/DESK(2). The file created
- CANNOT be typed to the screen with the MS-DOS screen TYPE command.
-
- See the PAINTIT and PRINTIT routines also available from this author.
-
- This routine may work on dBASE III V1.0, but specific loading and calling
- syntax is different and as I understand V1.0 only one routine can be loaded
- at any one time.
