- PRODUCT : TURBO PASCAL NUMBER : 320
- VERSION : 3.01A
- OS : PC-DOS
- DATE : July 11, 1986
-
- TITLE : LCD DISPLAY BLOCK HIGHLIGHT PATCH
-
- The IBM Convertible, as well as many other portable LCD displays
- do not respond well to the video attributes that Turbo Pascal
- uses to emphasize menu items, error messages, and marked blocks
- of text. The following patch to the attribute table of Turbo
- Pascal makes the display more readable by displaying the
- highlighted text in reverse video.
-
- Your Turbo Pascal program file should be installed using TINST.
- Select S for screen installation, then 4 for "b/w display mode -
- 80x25". Answer "N" to the question about screen blink.
-
- In application programs compiled by the patched TURBO.COM file,
- in Black and White mode, the procedures NormVideo and LowVideo
- will produce normal intensity and reverse video, respectively. On
- color systems, these procedures will give Yellow and Grey. On
- the monochrome adapter the text will be bright white on grey
- background.
-
- Use the DOS utility, DEBUG, to apply the following patch to a
- COPY of your .COM file. Copy DEBUG.COM into the directory (or
- onto the diskette) where your working copy of .COM is located. At
- the DOS prompt, type the following information exactly as it
- appears. (Conclude each line by pressing <Enter>.)
-
- Note: 1. DEBUG is not sensitive to upper and lower case. All
- addresses are listed in upper case for ease of
- readability.
-
- 2. While in DEBUG, the prompt appears as a dash (-).
-
- 3. If you do not receive the appropriate response,
- press "q", then <Enter>, to quit. Check your
- version numbers and, if correct, try again.
