Kevin- Welcome back, vacations are tuff, but someone's got to take them
No such thing as free time, but without some guidelines it has been difficult
to get back to the windows(I have been working with GEM based stuff like the
program I now use to read/reply to messages and Graphical WPs).
If you can send the code, I will try to get back to it. Also if you (or your
code) can clarify how the drivers differential between screens(ie. the areas
I have been working with) and windows (ie. your drivers, multiples per
screen). I left off looking at how the different screen resolutions are bit-
mapped, and how to but pixels on the screen. That brings up one more question,
how elaborate must the basic screen(text) driver be (mixed text sizes?)?...or
should I assume a change in character sizes allows a clear screen. This
greatly impacts the row/column cursor control (ie. backspacing).
Any and all description/definition/code will help me to understand what I need
to write, and how much my driver needs to handle. If I can simplfy(eliminate
rewriting something you have addressed, the less "free-time" I have to use).
Maybe then I can take a vacation..."Honey, the roof needs
fixed,ETC.,ETC....".
Thanks Bill
