Instructions for "The Ultimate Ansi Editor V1.10(BETA)
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
* * Introduction and Purpose * *
|
||
|
||
After growing very tired of it being nearly impossible to
|
||
create multi page ansi documents with most avaiable ansi
|
||
editors, and none of them supporting WWIVAnsi, I decided to
|
||
write a ansi editor that would include everything.
|
||
|
||
In the beta test version it contains hardly everything,
|
||
but rather only the parts which I considered the most
|
||
challenging to program, namely the scrolling ansi buffer and
|
||
the ANSI and WWIV ansi interruption. At this point the
|
||
program is exactly one week old, and during the next week I
|
||
will be adding such things as cut and paste, and more support
|
||
for the way WWIV stores its ansi files(ie B&W, ANS,MSG).
|
||
|
||
|
||
Installation
|
||
|
||
Unlike most ansi editors you absolutely do not have to
|
||
have your ANSI.SYS file installed. The program understands
|
||
ANSI and WWIVansi with out any external help.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Running the program.
|
||
|
||
Once executed you will see two title screens, then you will
|
||
enter the main program. Once inside the program you will be
|
||
able to move the hi-lighted part of the top bar and select
|
||
several pull down windows(NOTE: Mouse support is not setup
|
||
yet, as well as a few of the items on the top bar). To begin
|
||
drawing simply hit your escape key and you will be in drawing
|
||
mode. Hitting your escape key again brings you right back to
|
||
the top bar control. Use your escape key to toggle between
|
||
these two modes.
|
||
|
||
Commands:
|
||
|
||
ALT-F: Change the color you are drawing with
|
||
ALT-B: Change the current background color
|
||
ALT-L: Load an ANSI or WWIVansi graphic
|
||
ALT-S: Save from beginning to current location
|
||
ALT-H: On-Line Help
|
||
ALT-C: Clear screen, and start over
|
||
|
||
<F1-F8> Display Graphic Characters
|
||
<F9-F10> Select Graphics Set
