Short: Patches ScrollRaster() to look nicer Author: chris@planb.TheGAP.com (Chris Perver) Uploader: chris@planb.TheGAP.com (Chris Perver) Type: util/boot Requires: Kickstart 37+ COMPATIBLE: Vinced (Mostly) Vinci INCOMPATIBLE: KingCon Original CON: Vinced (When you type or press return above a line, etc) This program will patch the ScrollRaster() function to use my own routine, which uses ClipBlit(). The main bonus is that the new area of raster isn't cleared after the scroll, so new text, etc is drawn on top of the old text. The result is most notable when scrolling in a shell. You can start and stop blitscroll at any time. I suggest putting the following line in you s:user-startup after copying blitscroll to c: RUN >NIL: c:blitscroll To stop blitscroll, just break it's process. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Use this program at your own risk. Not every program will be compatible with blitscroil, as some programs may rely on the new area of raster being cleared. Let me know which programs produce strange results, and I will make blitscroll use the old ScrollRaster() for these programs, or I will develop a prefs file, in which you can select the programs to ignore yourself. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 1120 744 33.5% 24-Aug-97 01:02:50 blitscroll 2586 1178 54.4% 24-Aug-97 01:02:44 blitscroll.e 1330 657 50.6% 24-Aug-97 01:56:26 blitscroll.readme -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 5036 2579 48.7% 24-Aug-97 14:39:08 3 files
