- ScreenDraw (SD.EXE) is a screen editor for designing colorful menus for
- batch files, programs, and for making presentations. It has the following
- features:
-
- - An easy color selection from a pop-up menu.
- - ASCI chart
- - Line and box drawing capabilities.
- - Block operations: Copy, Move, Erase, and Color.
- - On-Line help and a user-freindly interface. No need for reading
- a guide in order to operate the program.
-
- SEE.COM is a handy utility that displays the screen files created by
- ScreenDraw. It displays the file, waits for a keystroke and returns the
- errorlevel of the key pressed. This is useful in enhancing batch files
- with colorful screens. Please see the sample MENU.BAT file, run it
- and feel free to edit it and adapt it to your system. SEE.COM displays
- screen files in 10 different modes (display effects) listed below:
-
- 0. Random pieces fill the screen (Fed-in)
- 1. Open the screen from the middle Horizontally
- 2. Open the screen from the middle Vertically
- 3. Close the screen towards the middle Horizontally
- 4. Close the screen towards the middle Vertically
- 5. Move the screen from Left to Right
- 6. Move the screen from Right to Left
- 7. Move the screen UP
- 8. Move the screen DOWN
- 9. Replace the screen (put it one shot).
-
-
- You can run the batch file DEMO.BAT to examine these effects, seperately
- or from within MENU.BAT.
-
- REQUIREMENT:
- ------------
- ScreenDraw shall work with any IBM compatible system. It needs 64KB
- of memory. A color system will utilize all features of the program
- but it's not a requirement.
-
- Regsitered users will receive software updates at no extra charge.
- In addition, if interested they will receive a utility that generates Turbo C
- source code from each screen file they make. Programmers can then merge this
- source file with their Turbo C programs (Please see the PCPIANO.EXE
- which was developed with the help of ScreenDraw v 1.0, this program is for the
- public domain, so enjoy using it freely). I am working on enabling the utility
- to generate Turbo Pascal source code.
-
- If you find ScreenDraw of benefit to you, please send $15 registeration
- fees to:
