- NOTES:
-
- These two functions are low level primitives for quick screen output in
- text modes on IBM PCs and compatibles. They both detect the screen mode
- and video hardware in use on every call. They are small and fast and
- written so that the obj. modules can be linked to memory models small
- through huge.
-
- Memrite outputs strings with color attribute to the screen vertically or
- horizontally. Litebar outputs only color attributes in either direction.
- These are handy for simple menus and help screens when you don't want the
- overhead of a screen driver library in your program.
-
- I would appreciate feedback on any bugs such as snow on Cga screens.
- I used the recommended techniques for snow avoidance but I don't have a
- Cga to test the program on. These were debugged on an STB Ega card and
- PACKARD BELL Ega monitor combination.
