Hi,
I would appreciate it if one of you folks who cant get XLIb to work properly
please run a test for me.
In XLIB.INC insert a macro
WORDOUT macro
out dx,al
inc dx
xchg al,ah
out dx,al
xchg al,ah
dec dx
endm
and in all .ASM files replace
out dx,ax
with
WORDOUT
Thanks,
If I find out that this works I'll tailor the next release to support a more
efficient macro.
PS. Coming up next:
Fast Bezier Curves c/o Matthew Mkenzie
Video ram based masked bitmaps with versions that clip to a user defined
clipping rectangle (similar to Abrash's but model independent and
easier to use)
Limited clipped planar bitmap blits (only clip rows). Ideas for full
clipping of PBM's welcome, I may need to resort to linear type bitmaps
for this purpose
Improved hardware detection (coprocessor detection and possibly limited
VGA card type identification... If I can get the data I need)
Mouse functions based Shane's but with support for double buffered modes
and split screen modes (Maybe?)
Any other goodies I pick up by then
The next release may be the last so if you have any ideas to share send them
now!
Happy hacking,
Themie
