- General description
- -------------------
-
- ASCR is a resident program, which provides displaying of Russian
- letters on your PC monitor. It works in any videomode on
- EGA(VGA) and in graphics modes on CGA.
-
- ASCR does NOT provide entering Russian characters from keyboard.
- Any keyboard driver (such as KEYUSSR, RUSLAT and so on) may be
- used with ASCR.
-
- ASCR program accepts no parameters. If you adapter is
- EGA-compatible or current videomode is graphics mode you will
- get a message in Russian from ASCR just after it's starting.
-
- ASCR must be started only once. It is recommended to place it to
- AUTOEXEC.BAT file, if you are permanently working with Russian
- letters.

- Notes for advanced users.
-
- 1,2 or 3 Russian fonts became resident after program start. The
- number of fonts depends on display adapter in that way:
-
- 1-font case: EGA-compatible card not found.
- 2-font case: EGA-compatible card found and VGA-compatible not
- found and current font height is not 16 scanlines.
- 3-font case: VGA-compatible card found or current font height is
- 16 scanlines.
-
- As a result, driver may have those parameters, depending the
- case which take place:
-
- 1 font 2 fonts 3 fonts
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- Font(s) height (scanlines) 8 8, 14 8,14,16
- Resident part size 2K 6K 10K
- Working videomodes 4-6 all all
- ------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The conclusion is that if your adapter uses font of 16-lines
- height and is not VGA-compatible, start ASCR when current
- display font is of 16 scanlines.
