-
- 3D-Plot
- Reider, Jim
- $?
- is a 3d hidden line plot routine.
-
- Animator
- is a utility that aids you in drawing animated graphics.
-
- Sprite
- is for drawing graphics "sprites".

-
- 1442 Screen Design
- ------------------
- ANSI-Animator (ANSIANI)
- Leitner, Eric
- $?
- is a utility for creating screens for programs, batch files, etc, using text,
- ASCII graphics and ANSI GRAPHIC4 and GRAPHIC5 files contain graphic libraries
- for the Printshop converted from disks of public domain Apple graphics.
-
- ANSI-Draw (ANSIDRA)
- is a screen design program that makes it easy to draw screens with the
- upper-ASCII line-drawing characters.
-
- Box
- Wagner, Robert
- $?
- will draw a box on the screen in your program using ASCII line-drawing
- characters. All you have to do is pop up BOX, mark the corners and hit a key,
- then watch it draw the box. This turns any text editor into a screen design
- program. res:7k
-
- Boxit
- Williams, Philip
- $?
- is a utility for creating text screens. Creates screens that can be saved.
- Does not generate source code.
-
- Dura Screen 3.1 (DS3)
- Adkins, J.
- $?
- is an excellent screen drawing utility for programmers. It generates
- screen-creation code in BASIC, C, Pascal, dBase III+, assembler, or ANSI, or
- it will generate straight ASCII files that can be TYPEd in DOS.
-
- LinBox 1.0
- Sawada, Dr. Masaaki
- $5-$10
- is a TSR that lets you draw self-connecting single/double bar lines by moving
- the cursor in any program, although it is intended primarily for use in word
- processors. As a TSR, it uses 3k of RAM.
-
- We almost trashed this because lines were not being drawn properly. But
- when we read the documentation more carefully, we saw that it says to draw the
- lines s-l-o-w-l-y or errors would occur. Slowly means that you should wait
- until until each keystroke results in a line on the screen before pressing the
- key again. You should definitely not just hold the cursor keys down. Also,
- don't forget to press End before quitting your word processor, or you may have
- to reboot to get control of the keyboard back when you are in DOS.
-
- ScrGen
- is a screen editor that generates Turbo Pascal source code for screen
- displays to be added to your programs. The program features an attribute
- selection utility, a box draw utility and a block move utility. Colors can be
- defined for use on color monitors, and monochrome attributes, such as normal,
- underlined and reverse video can be generated for use on monochrome monitors.
- Output can be generated to support either or both of these video modes.
-
- ScrMod
- is a Modula-2 library offering an advanced text screen handling for the
- IBM-PC and compatibles. It supports windows, RAM screens (to save or prepare
- screens in RAM), cursor and bell control.
-
- Screen-Man 1.0LS (SCRN)
- Daniel Burke Associates
- ?
- is a screen managment program which allows C language programmers to quickly
- and easily display screens and accept input on IBM PC's and compatibles.
-
- ScreenSave (SCRNSAV)
- Barlow, Troy
- $0
- is a MASM routine that demonstrates using DOS from a TSR. It saves a MCGA
- 256-color palette and screen to disk.

- END OF SMALL PROGRAMS DISK #1442
- --------------------------------
-
-
- AnsiGraf
- Hinkle, David
- $0
- #7197/1053
- is intended primarily for programmers to use to create screens. In particular,
- the program will save the screens in BASIC program code that can be merged
- with BASIC programs. We found the program to be of excellent quality and easy
- to use.
-
-
- Borders
- #7197/112
- are modifiable BASIC and dBase code for creating screen borders.
-
-
- OSG
- Project X Development Group
- $?
- #7197/1062
- lets programmers easily create program screens that can be stored, edited, and
- finally converted by OSG for linking into programs with most MS language
- compilers, or Turbo-C, or Lattice. Unlike other program screen generators, OSG
- lets you link an OSG screen driver interface with your code. The interface
- allows faster screen output without any problems such as snow. Another big
- plus is that the screens can be easily converted from one language to another
- if you change languages. We found the screen drawing to be easy. Lines are
- drawn with the cursor keys; corners and intersecting lines are done
- automatically.
-
-
- PC-Input, Screeb Design Aid & Helper
- #7197/239
- programs to create screens for BASIC programs.
-
-

- including points, solid and dashed lines, polygons, circles, ellipses, solid and
- dithered rectangles, region fill, and clipping; character display; physical and
- virtual video page management image display facilities, including mode-specific
- and mode-independent images, clipped and reversed images, image retrieval, pixel
- run maps, and image transfer; animation; and special effects.
-
- Also included are routines for keyboard, mouse, and joystick control and sound
- effects and music, both synchronous and asynchronous.
-
- It supports all of the standard text and graphics video modes. It also supports
- a commonly used video mode for the Tandy 1000 series computers and the PCjr, two
- video modes for the Hercules Graphics Card, and two extended VGA modes. Example
- source code is included. Requires a hard disk.
-
-
- Laughing Dog Screen Maker 1.12
- Yardbird Software ASP
- $35
- #4649
- is a powerful text-mode screen design tool. The mouse-based interface with
- an on-screen toolbar makes designing screens extremely fast and easy.
- Screens can be saved in a variety of formats including Binary, BSAVE,
- ASCII, WildCat! BBS, ANSI, PCBoard, and executable COM files.
-
- Source code can be generated in BASIC, C, Pascal, or Assembly Language. A
- utility is provided for capturing screens from other applications, and you
- can also produce manual or automatic slide-show demos. Most dot-matrix and
- laser printers are supported, including PostScript compatible printers.
-
-
- MuralKit
- Green, Bill
- $5
- #886
- lets you create a "mural" of 16 screen pages arranged in four rows of four.
- While you can slowly scroll in all four directions (the columns and rows of
- pages "wrap" when you reach the ends), pressing the space bar immediately
- advances you to the next screen and pressing a number moves you directly to that
- page. Seems like it could be handy for medium-size documentation files.
- Appears to require ANSI.SYS.
-
-
- P-Screen
- Smetana, Rob W.
- $33-$53
- #7198/1792
- lets you design screens, create screen libraries, then display your screens
- from your own programs. Features include library screen compression, an option
- to load BSAVE files, the ability to copy sections across screens or to
- different locations on one screen, mouse support, pull-down menus, block
- centering, Big Font, recolor, QB and PDS7 support, extensive help, and more.
- It supports 25, 43 or 50 line screens on Mono, CGA, EGA or VGA.
-
-
- Scndsign
- Enochs, Iddo L.
- $25
- #7198/1135
- allows programmers to design screens and then generates the code in Turbo Pascal
- to be added to your programs. It also permits you to specify variables for data
- entry as part of your screen design.
-
-
- Screen Designer
- Cocke, Michael W.
- $10
- #7198/1397
- is a tool for designing screen displays. It has a Line Draw mode, a
- sophisticated ``auto-box'' capability, and a special programmers interface which
- allows the screen designs to be imported directly into most programming
- languages. The graphics created with the program can be displayed on
- Monochrome, Hercules, CGA, EGA, VGA & PGA video systems.
-
-
- Screen-Do
- Port-of-Call Software Inc.
- $15-$25
- #7198/829
- is a screen design program for programmers. It has a lot of interesting
- features, but lacks one feature that others have and we think is necessary.
- That is the ability to automatically draw lines, corners and thus boxes easily
- with the cursor keys.
-
-
- Screen Editor
- Raney, Dennis
- $?
- #7198/722
- is a programmer's tool that lets you draw a screen the way you want it to appear
- to the user and save it in ASCII, ANSII, binary, Pascal, 'C' or BASIC format.
- This can save the programmer a lot of time and SE is very well designed to do
- so.
-
-
- Screen Express
- WindowSoft
- $69
- #7199/1469
- is a screen design program for programmers working with Lattice, MS or Turbo C.
- This is one of the most unique and slickest screen designers that we have seen.
- In addition to the usual line and and box drawing (and some "unusual" box
- drawing), SE lets you mark off areas of the screen ("blocks") and move, copy,
- fill in, or change the color of the contents of blocks.
-
- SE saves screens in a compacted form that takes little disk space and you can
- link code to your program with supplied modules that will handle the screen
- display work for you. Another valuable feature is the ability to save screen
- blocks or just the parts of the screen on which you have drawn.
-
-
- ScreenCode
- #7199/638
- is a screen designer with BASIC source code generator.
-
-
- ScreenPaint
- Laurinolli, Kai
- $25
- #7199/1730
- allows the design of lightning-fast batch file based hard-disk menus, help
- facilities, pop-up windows, and prototype screens for applications programs.
- Screens can be quickly "painted" in a full-screen editing environment, complete
- with pull-down menus, help screens, automatically connecting lines, ten screen
- pages, and a wide variety of drawing and editing tools.
-
-
- TheDraw
- Davis, Ian E.
- $17-$25
- #7199/2138
- is an ANSI screen design program for programmers. Intel compatible object code
- files are supported. Features include a color attributes drawing/painting
- mode; EGA 43-line and VGA 50-line editing; mouse-aided line drawing; animation
- scanners; the ability to reverse any given animation scan; QB 4.0/4.5
- compatible object files; automatic screen blanking; and more.
-
- There are a lot of screen design programs, each with its pro's and con's, but
- this is one of the best, in our opinion. The documentation file is nearly
- 250k, which is necessary to cover all the features. For example, we are not
- aware of any other shareware screen design utility that offers animation.
-
-
- Vincent
- #7199/485
- is a text screen layout program. If you have to build screens for use by batch
- files or other programs, this program can come in handy as it lets you draw
- boxes with ASCII graphics, center text, change colors, etc.
