Dear all,
Firstly, QLiberator has behaved perfectly today - no compilation worries and
no crashes on running. I wish I knew what was causing the problems :o(
PER : I even managed to REDUCE the stack and heap size from 8K each to 4K
stack and 2K heap as the program only used about 1K stack in the end - good
those stats in Qliberator arn't they - thanks for the reminder.
Next, Screen Snatcher has been updated to save the correct size of a full
screen. It does this by working out the number of bytes per screen line and
the number of lines in the full screen depth, then it saves (line_width *
screen_depth) bytes to file.
Further updates planned are :
option to save in raw mode or _pic mode
option to save an area rather than the entire screen (in raw or _pic mode)
Known foibles :
When EX'd, the main screen appears AND a phantom black screen channel
appears behind it - who knows what this is all about then ?
When Activated (ie told to vanish from the screen and watch the keyboard
queue) it stays on screen ! In the old version, which runs find on QPC2v2,
it does vanish. The new version remains persistant - and I never changed
anything in that bit of the code ! All it is is a single line - MCLEAR #3 -
what's going on ? This happens in High Colour or QL colour mode.
If you fancy being a guinea pig, give me a shout and I shall send you a zip
file (QL Style) with the OBJ and source files for your amusement. I have
tested on QPC2v2 in QL and High Colour mode at 800 by 600 resolution -
nothing else so if you have another system I would be pleased to know if it
works ok for you (subject to the above foibles - which I intend to fix !)
Norman.
