That is what we did last time. No, I dont care if someone wants to hack it. I dont have nearly the skill to craft something that would not be. Mostly all I hope for is to demonstrate a method of improving the content of the PC screen, and show how to present a book which is more readable on the one hand, and as with PLOTINUS, provide free access to classics. > I have my own file "splitter", remember. :) > And my own "coloured" text file viewers. the big diff this time was finding Horst's LINEX and VARSET. this meant that just one text file was needed, rather than a file for every screen, and varset was able to do the integer math to find the correct 'bookmark' on even a 486 at decent speed. > I only have MS-DOS 6.20 and Win3.1. That is all I can test for you. That's great. What it seems I will havta do is split the package, one part with the text/jpgs, and then two versions of the display tools, one for win 9x, and another for real dos. I've posted to a few Linux lists, hoping to find out about dosemu effects as well. I can see that the display tools could be combined in assy code, but dont think I have the talent to do that. But unless the colored text is seen as actually easier to read by people, then the whole thing is moot.
