- GRASP - GRAphical System for Presentation - Revision history
-
- The following is a LIFO list of the revision history of GRASP.
-
- Do not worry about always keeping the latest version of GRASP around unless
- one of these bugs or features directly affects you...
- _____________________________________________________________________________
-
- 1.10c - August 15, 1986
- -----
-
- * The little '4' in upper left corner of CGA now gone. Whew!
-
- * SLIDE (pfade 19) on CGA speed fixed. Now runs at full speed.
-
- * Many, many HERCULES mode bugs fixed including the hang with fade speeds.
-
- * Can change paths from Main Directory now.
-
- * Fonts moved to far segment so larger fonts may be used.
-
- * RE-compiled with MANX C which provides smaller, faster code.
-
- * Lots of little fixes and code clean-ups.
-
- * A couple of manual changes and clarifications.
-
- * NEW COMMAND - MOVE - moves section of screen to another part of screen.
-
- * NEW COMMAND - RECT - draws fast filled rectangles.
-
- * NEW COMMAND - TILE - fills screen with a clipping, i.e., tiling effect.
-
- * NEW COMMAND - POSITION - sets position in PCPAINT page where screen will
- be displayed from. This allows you to create
- very large pages and scroll around in them.
-
- * NEW COMMAND - SETUPSCR - now required before PAN command. To do EGA panning
- the sequence must be as follows:
-
- SETUPSCR buffer
- PFADE 0,1
- PAN (around anywhere you like...)
- CLEARSCR
- RESETSCR
-
- also note that SETUPSCR and RESETSCR will reset
- the window parameters to screen size, so you
- must reset with the window command if you need to.

- 1.10b - June 3, 1986
- -----
- * You can now load pictures of any type, even while in a different video
- mode.
-
- * Text clipping placement is now correct.
-

-
- 1.10a - May 25, 1986
- -----
- * Hercules mode now works properly. You can read all menus.
-
- * EGA monochrome mode now works better. The system will default to the proper
- configuration based on your hardware at start-up.
-
- * Use of an old VIDEO command now signals an error instead of sometimes
- hanging.
-
- * The routine that checks for existence of a mouse doesn't hang the machine
- now.
-
- * Passing a video mode parameter to PCPAINT (ALT-F10 function in editor) now
- works all the time.
-
- * GRASP used to support dual monitor configs. Due to the fact that may
- vendors have hercules emulation on their EGAs, I can't tell whether
- I need to switch monitors or not to get to herc. Therefore, GRASP no
- longer automatically switches monitors. If you have dual monitors, you
- need to do a DOS MODE command to switch before running GRASP.
-
- * If you try to set EGA modes and don't have one, it tells you...instead
- of hanging.
