- Fatbits - A pixel magnifier program for OS/2 Presentation Manager
-
- By John Ridges
-
- Invocation: START FATBITS
-
- To install, place FATBITS.EXE in your path, FATBITS.DLL in your libpath.
-
-
- Fatbits is one of those mind bogglingly useful utility programs for people
- writing PM software. (If you're not a PM programmer, it'll probably bore you
- to tears). It magnifies an area of the screen centered around the pointer and
- paints the giant pixels into a small, tastefully decorated window. This can
- be indispensable when you want to see something right down to the last pixel.
-
- This is a re-implementation of a Mac desk accessory that's been around since
- day one. This one is a little better than the Mac version since, due to the
- miracle of multi-tasking, you can leave it open and still continue to use
- other programs while it runs.
-
- For those of you that care, I hereby officially release the program into
- the public domain. Fatbit's been pretty thoroughly tested and I'm willing
- to bet what's left of my professional reputation that it's bug free. Of
- course, legally, I make no guarantees about anything it might do to your
- programs, data, hardware, or sanity. Hey, you get what you pay for.
