Hello Ken!

Replying to a message of Ken Kavanagh to Ramin Akhbari:

 RA>> Ken, when you say "full screen graphical program" you
are talking
 RA>> about a PM Window, aren't you?

 KK> no, full screen os.2 session.

Weird...

 RA>> And you want to display text in this PM Window?

 KK> no, text in graphics mode in this full screen session.

... and again, ...

 KK> It would seem there are no graphical "print text"
functions for os/2
 KK> (full screen sessions)  so i am therefore trying to write my own
 KK> graf_printf...not that I have any idea which would be the right way
 KK> to do this.  this is what I have so far... =====================

[code deleted]

 KK> ===============
 KK> This can't be how "its" done..the compile takes waaay longer now..a

Why should it be don at all? Can you specify what you want to obtain ?

I don't get this. You use a graphical OS, switch back to a textmode screen,
and want do to something graphical anyway ?
If your problem (i.e.) is to change the way a font looks, you can define a
new one, in PM. And that can be used in a maximised text window.


Bye, Werner!
