[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Screen swapper

emmo@moncam.co.uk (Dave Emmerson) (05/03/90)

One of the features I miss sorely when using (say) Turbo C is the
ability to press a hotkey to have the screen saved somewhere (quick),
change files, (or better, switch tasks!) and start editing, using
the hotkey to flip between the current screen and the saved one.
It has to be very fast, on machines with lotsa memory this hasn't been
a problem, and I'd guess it shouldn't be too difficult on an AT.
I've seen mention in this group of 'screen savers', but has anyone got
a PD one like this? It'd be right dandy when porting software and
entering the prototypes, which I prefer to keep in a separate file for
large progs, though I'd still want something like it if they were only
declared in the head of the same file. What? a PENCIL? Yukk!

Any suggestions, offers, donations, dead wombats etc.. welcomed

Thanx
