Contents of the QWINDOWS.DOC file


QWINDOWS.COM by Bob Montgomery, 5-6-87

This collection of files is a user library of assembly language
window subroutines for Quick Basic ver 2.0 up. The files are:

GETSCRN.8 Source for GETSCRN.OBJ
GETSCRN.OBJ Subroutine to restore a previously saved screen
MAKSND.8 Source for MAKSND.OBJ
MAKSND.OBJ Subroutine for making a poping sound
SAVESCRN.8 Source for SAVESCRN.OBJ
SAVESCRN.OBJ Subroutine for saving screen contents to an array
WINDOW.8 Source for WINDOW.OBJ
WINDOW.OBJ Subroutine to make a window on the screen
WINDLIB.EXE Window library of above 4 OBJ files
WINDTST.BAS Demo window program-use WINDLOAD.BAT to execute
WINDTST.EXE Compiled window demo-uses BRUN.EXE
WINDLOAD.BAT Runs QB of WINDTST.BAS with WINDLIB.EXE
WINDLIBB.BAT Builds the 4 OBJ files into WINDLIB.EXE

To run the demo, use WINDLOAD.BAT which will run QB on WINDTST.BAS
using the window subroutine library WINDLIB.EXE. The source files are
in A86 assembler format and can be converted to MASM format (although
I can't imagine why you would do this) by adding all the ASSUME,
SEGMENT, ENDS, etc nonsense assembler directives. A86 is a shareware
macro assembler with such outstanding features that I never use MASM
anymore; it produces a COM file directly unless instructed otherwise,
and gets rid of all the 'red tape' assembler directives. Try it, I
think you'll like it. The A86 documentation, although sparse, is very
instuctive, and explains why some of the directives are there (in
MASM), and why they aren't needed.

Enjoy, Bob Montgomery
