Short: Program to scroll Texts with (Color-)IFF-Fonts in a Window Author: Reinhard Katzmann Uploader: Reinhard Katzmann Type: dev/c Architecture: m68k-amigaos GScroll - A program which scrolls a text in a window ==================================================== (C) 1995 Reinhard Katzmann. All rights reserved. Introduction ------------ I've written this program as I got a CD with many colour fonts and IFF Fonts on it and thought one some so calles "Intros" which are mostly written in Assembler and not very system friendly. This program uses only system functions (for scrolling, blitting and remapping.) In the current form, remapping is only done under OS3.x and higher. The program should also work on OS2.x but I could not test this. One example font is included and also an example usage with topaz/11. This only works, if you have installed the Font Datatype (can be found on aminet). I cannot make clear statements on the speed of the program. On my A4000/040 it is quite a smooth scrolling. At least it should not flicker somehow. Also the speed much depends on the size of the font. While topaz/11 is so fast that you cannot read it, with the font14 color font it is acceptable.
