Several features, however, take advantage of newer hardware, and these are listed below: 320x200, 320 Wide video modes VGA video 640x480, 640 Wide video modes VGA video iCEColor VGA video Grayscale VGA video RIP viewing EGA video BIN viewing (smooth panning) VGA video [New stuff in This Version 2.60b] Well, a new version came out. Surprise! I did not think that I'd have time to get anything done on this, and I am mostly correct. I considered several options on what to do with this thing before I got around to working on it some more, so I guess now I am officially still working on this project until all the loose ends are gone. For those that don't know, I am now in college, so my time is exponentially limited (you even have to study here!). It will take much greater time for change to occur. (Thus the lack of a new relicvu last month.) I consider this Relicvu to be a beta release. There are a few minor changes I must make to this before it is official- here are the things that temporarily don't work: 1. Speeds in 320x200 scrollback. 2. 320x200 wide mode scrollback. So here are the new things: o I rewrote the 320x200 display routines, which should hopefully be a little faster and much smoother o I changed the interface color scheme. o Fixed a bug in Bin vga display. o Enter aborts ALL DISPLAY now for you lazy ppl who hate Esc keys. -=- Command summary: F1 - Help - displays a brief summary of commands. F2 - Resolution - allows user to select display mode. These modes include: 80x25 text, scrollback, ansimation 80x50 text, scrollback, ansimation 320x200x256 MCGA, scrollback, ansimation 320 Wide MCGA, scrollback, ansimation 640x480x16 VGA, scrollback, ansimation 640 Wide VGA, scrollback, ansimation F3 - Path - allows user to change directories/filespec. The file list will be updated accordingly after returning to the interface. The default masks are specified in RELICVU.CFG. RELiCVu supports up to 4 masks. The fourth mask is specifiable via commandline; i.e., "RELICVU *.ANS" will load RELiCVu with the default masks and "*.ANS", overwriting the fourth mask if it exists. F4 - Autoscroll - determines whether RELiCVu will initially scroll through ansis or whether the user gets the priviledge. F5 - Ansimation mode - turns off scrollback and displays all ansimation sequences. RELiCVu does force ansimation in scrollback mode if the SAUCE ansimation flag is set. F6 - Select viewing speed. The speeds are as follows: ( okay, so the baud rates are definitely approximate. :) ) Presto (no delay), Allegro (14400 bps), Andante (9600 bps), Adagio (2400 bps), and Largo (1200 bps). F7 - Select color options. You have the following options: 1. Normal - Defaults to blink but loads iCEColor if the corresponding flag in SAUCE is set. 2. iCEColor - Forces iCEColor (non-blink mode). 3. Ascii - Strips colors from Ansi. For your hidden message viewing pleasure. 4. Grayscale - Makes the ansi gray. ,,Pgup,Pgdn - The arrow keys are used to scroll through the file list or a prompt to highlight an item for selection. When displaying an ansi, these may also be used to scroll back through it. [Enter] - Selects highlighted file for display or updates chosen option. -=- If you email me, I'll greet you next month: gt5111a@prism.gatech.edu SAUCE00RELiCVu Documentation Greater Evil RELiC 19940519P SAUCE00RELiCVu Documentation Greater Evil Relic 19941122“P
