********************** * What is Shareware? * (Definition is copr. ASP) ********************** "Shareware is an exciting marketing method which allows you to try top-quality software before you pay the author. With Shareware, you cannot be disappointed spending money for a program that's not right for you. The small fee you pay to Shareware distributors covers only the duplication and distribution costs and permits you to evaluate the program. If you continue to use the program, you must send the author an additional payment which may entitle you to technical support, bonus programs, and more. Your payment supports authors, allowing them to continue writing newer and better Shareware software." *********************** * Shareware Agreement * *********************** In the following, SOFTWARE means the files provided on the data media or in an electronic archive as a whole.

The latter is - of course - also compilable in real mode. The registered/ licensed versions include COMPLETE SOURCE CODE. 1 The MyMouse Software Package 1.5 ----------------------------------- - MyMouse is the finest mouse control unit available. It is NOT such a petty interface unit for controlling the mouse driver. MyMouse provides new service routines, which draw the graphics mouse cursor. So, you can define cursors of any size and color. This produces Windows comfort (32 x 32 pixels) in DOS programs -- and still more (100 x 100 is no problem at all). Mouse cursors can be adapted automatically to graphical control elements on the screen. The cursor's hide-and-show flickering is largely avoided. SVGA support, direct support for Microsoft and Mouse Systems mice (no driver required), driver-bound support for any mouse. The latest features: VESA support (up to 1024x768x256), and anti-flickering timing logic. - MyFonts is the universal font management unit. It allows the output of VGA BIOS fonts as well as Windows bitmap, Windows vector (scalable) and MS DOS codepage-specific fonts in your Pascal programs. In addition, scalable BGI fonts are supported directly. All fonts are handled in a flexible, font-independent and consistent way. Bold font versions can be synthesized, TV markers and character spacing are supported directly, Windows text metrics are supported. SVGA support. - VgaMem is the VGA rest memory management unit. It provides highly- optimized copying routines and graphical operations. VGA rest memory (about 100 K at standard resolution) is dynamically allocated and freed, graphical images are stored efficiently there. Further, Graph's PutImage routine is replaced by one capable of clipping. SVGA support. ! The registered version includes the following "small tools" (refer to TOOLS.DOC for more information): WinRes, Clipboard, Mouse Animate, Profile. 2 Graphics Vision 2.0 ---------------------- NOTE: There is a program called "Graphic Vision" on some FTP servers, which should not be mixed up with our Graphics Vision. (You would notice the difference in the program description.) Graphics Vision is an object-oriented class library, which provides an SAA graphical user interface with MS Windows look but is *fully compatible* with Borland's text mode library Turbo Vision 2.0. That means, existing Turbo Vision programs can be made run in graphics with little changes. Thus, Graphics Vision is not only the graphic enhancement for your Turbo Vision programs but also a real alternative to Windows programming and the OW Library. Graphics Vision is not a simple text-in-graphics emulation of Turbo Vision, but an object hierarchy, which bases on Turbo Vision's objects and provides a new, full-graphic object hierarchy, whose functionality enhances and outperforms Turbo Vision's capabilities. Graphics Vision is extremely fast through highly-optimized graphical routines and good algorithms. With it, you can have nice and efficient graphical interfaces for your DOS programs. Some of the features are: * an intelligent window management, * hierarchial pull-down menus, including bitmapped items and check marks, * context-sensitive help, including hints and hypertext help, * highly-developped graphical dialog elements, * SVGA support, * input validation, * support of Windows bitmapped and scalable fonts, * reading Windows dialog/menu templates The registered/licensed version of Graphics Vision is shipped together with the MetaGraph and the MyMouse Package, both highly-optimized graphics packages, which outperform the BGI in speed and features, and which are intensively used by Graphics Vision. Also included are a lot of small tools (refer to TOOLS.DOC for more information): WinRes, Clipboard, GvEyes, GvWList, Profile, EditDemo, GvWinDlg, GvHelp, GvGauges. 3 MetaGraph 1.0 ----------------- MetaGraph provides highly-optimized graphical routines, which replace the functions of the Graph unit. It provides efficient directly-implemented graphical operations and SVGA support. The greatest thing: MetaGraph supports the Metafile conception, such that you may record complex graphic operations and play them at an enormous speed, which may let your programs up to twice as fast! A p p l i c a t i o n P r o g r a m s 4 Chemical Molecules 3.0 (German version only) ------------------------- Three-dimensional view of chemical molecules, which can easily be built by the user. Atom radii are stored within the program, such that you only need to specify the element. Chemical Molecules has a fantastic Windows-like graphical user interface, though running in DOS. It includes a Multiple Document Interface for several molecules displayed at the same time. Flicker-free, smooze and fast animations of the molecules are provided through an optimized integer arithmetic and optimized graphical routines. These animations provide a perfect view on the three-dimensional molecular structure. Atoms, bindings, and element symbols can be individually switched on and off. An extra feature is the calculation of the sum formula. 5 Formula Editor for DOS 1.00 (German version only) ------------------------------ This is a nice tool for easily printing well-formed mathematical formulae. Operators and structures can be defined individually. ************ * Ordering * ************ If you have access to CompuServe, you may use the SWREG service.
