to BILL WOLFF re: R/VGA MONITOR ON CGA
|
|
|
|
CGA = TTL (digital) signals - basically 4 wires (excluding things like
|
|
grounds, sync, etc) - R, G, B, and an intensity lead. T Think of it as 4
|
|
bits, so you get 16 colors.
|
|
EGA = TTL signals, basically 6 wires: R, G, B, and a separate intensity
|
|
line for R, G, and B - giving 6 bits or 64 colors.
|
|
VGA = totally different: an analog signal, only 3 wires: R, G, and B,
|
|
but being analog, they take on any value just like your CRT brightness
|
|
control. (in actuality, a 6-bit digital to analog converter is used within
|
|
the adapter, so each color has 64 values - a total of 18 bits, giving
|
|
a quarter million possible colors.

to BILL WOLFF re: R/VGA MONITOR ON CGA
|
|
|
|
Oh, I forgot: as a result, VGA has to "emulate" CGA and EGA, because by
|
|
definition it is an analog monitor.
|
|
A true VGA monitor can "sync" at only 3 resolutions that I know about:
|
|
- 350 line (for EGA emulation)
|
|
- 400 line for text and CGA emulation (double scan 200 line)
|
|
- 480 line for VGA mode itself
|
|
P.S. 400 line is also used by MCGA mode - the 320 x 200 mode that can
|
|
have 256 colors from a palette of a quarter million.

to ALL re: FOXPRO VS PARADOX

|

I am a current and somewhat casual user of FoxBase 2.1. I have
|
|
several projects which require programming and I do not have the
|
|
time to devote to it.
|
|
|
|
As most of you know, Borland is offering Paradox 3.5 to current
|
|
dBase/FoxBase users for $149. Fox is offering an update to FoxPro
|
|
for $150. Can someone familiar with the two programs so a quick
|
|
compare and contrast for me? I like to upgrade to one or the other
|
|
but am not sure which would be better.

|
|
You might want to check back issues of DBMS and Data Based Advisor for
|
|
articles describing Foxpro. Fred Kasner can probably tell you all
|
|
you want to know and more about Paradox. On another BBS (I forget
|
|
which one) I saw a rather large program described as a "shareware Foxpro
|
|
clone"; if I find anything more about it, I'll let you know over on
|
|
the Advocate.
|
|
My choice of Dbase dialect is Clipper, which by definition requires
|
|
programming. One thing you might want to check out is Clarion Personal
|
|
Developer, which is basically an application generator combined with
|
|
a runtime module for full-fledged Clarion. It may be somewhat limited,
|
|
but it can now be found for under $50 at many retailers.

to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/VGA MONITOR ON CGA
|
|
|
|
Oh thanks! That makes it perfectly clear. Except what kind of monitor
|
|
do you need to have composite/CGA/EGA and VGA videos? If one wanted to
|
|
buy just one monitor for all? Is there any made? I believe multisync
|
|
has CGA/EGA/VGA bases covered, but may lack composite. Hey composite
|
|
has an analog video signal too, it's just the resolution isn't so good.

to LARRY GLASSMAN re: R/LOGOPOLIS
|
|
|
|
Running the software at all seems to be a dead issue. Ran out of ambition
|
|
trying to arrange for a CBBS to PC transplant via Ward channels, and I'm
|
|
sure the former Logopolis callers (including myself) have all lost interest
|
|
by now. I grabbed the backup North Star machine from the land of the greedy
|
|
ages ago, then couldn't make contact with you to use it. After months of
|
|
on/off trying, I figured it was not to be, and didn't know where I'd put
|
|
the Logopolis hardware if I managed to retrieve it from you. <sigh>
|
|
Someday, perhaps I'll have a house again...
|
|
No dup. chars.
