MswLogo Version 1.1 for Micro-Soft Windows 3.X is ready !!!
-----------------------------------------------------------
LOCATION: itrc::/millspub/mswlogo11.zip (this is a DEC internal location)
simtel (some day)
To Install it:
1) UnZip MSWLOGO11.ZIP into a directory (e.g. c:\logo)
2) UnZip LOGOLIB.ZIP (included in MSWLOGO11.ZIP) into LIB (e.g. c:\logo\lib)
Note: If you do not use c:\logo as the root you must set the
environment variable LOGOPATH to where you put it (e.g.
set logopath=d:\games\logo in autoexec.bat)
3) Start Windows and add Icon as follows:
a) Select the applications (or other) icon box.
b) Go into Program manger FILE menu and click on New.
c) Select Program Item and click OK.
d) Enter the command for logo (e.g. c:\logo\logo).
e) Include a working directory (e.g. c:\logo\work) or you'll have ".lg"
files all over the place.
Start it from Windows by double clicking the Logo Icon
Start it from DOS by typing "win logo" at DOS prompt (assuming logo.exe
is in your PATH).
Try typing "DEMO" at the "*" prompt.
New features/bugs fixed:
o Floodfill
o Bitmapped screen refresh (much faster scrolling)
o Fix error in windows logo help on edit command
o Fixed edit command (no .lg required and no arg will start editor)
Also sets up "to" and "end" line of non-existent files.
o Scrollers were improperly sized produce some weirdness which is
no fixed.
o Turtle is a little faster but hideturtle is tsill much faster
for complex scenes.
o Cleaned up Icon/Window names.
o Changed name from Winlogo to MswLogo.
Standard features:
o penwidth added.
o Save and restore images added.
o screencolor (background) added.
o 16.7 million pen and background colors (windows dithering).
o Has its own Icon.
o Full Windows Hypertext Help
o Full Windows Printing (untested since I don't have a printer at the moment)
o Supports separate library and work area.
o Printing is tested and working (mostly see bugs)
Bugs / Basic Missing features:
o Some printers (maybe all) will not handle floodfills.
I beleive I will have it fixed soon.
o A user has noted that it fails to work on a VAXMATE with
windows 3.0. I don't know the details of why yet.
I suspect he/she may be trying to run in real mode which
might not work.
o A user has noted that the logo help database does not work under
OS2 (which windows 3.0 compatible).
I just gotmore info on this and I will be releasing 2 .hlp
files in the future (3.0 and 3.1).
If someone with a standard 3.0 windows system could check functionality
it would be very helpful.
Wish list:
o Needs halt button.
o Status window (pen color, width, heading, pen status (up down erase))
o Need sound blaster support.
o need text support.
o needs debug support.
o Undo/Redo
The Core of this Version of Logo comes from a project done by Boston Childrens
Museum and Lincoln Sudbury Regonal High School. The Port to Windows was done
by George Mills Digital Equipment Corporation. Digital Equipment Corporation
takes no responsibility for the software.
There is also a DOS version (with out the added functionality I've added to
MswLOGO available. If anyone is interested let me know. Does not work on Herc
monitors.
