Someoner inquired about how to scoll & pan (i.e., "scroll" sideways)
on a EGA | VGA. I haven't been able to keep up with the backlog
in this group -- postings disappear before I get to them --
but I didn't see any answers to the inquiry.
See Andrew J. Chalk: "EGA and VGA: Smooth Scrolling and Panning",
_Dr. Dobbs Journal_, vol. 13, iss. 12, December 1988, p. 62.
The article includes code for a "smooth browser" for text files.
C code is supplied that is claimed to be usable under
MSC 5.0+, Turbo C, WatCom C, MIX Power C v1.1+.
The code was written by Magna Carta Software, developer|marketer
of the C Windows Toolkit. I have no experience with their products.
The source code is copyrighted.
Despite the copyright, source code for *all* articles
in the entire issue is available on a floppy disk for $14.95 from
Dr. Dobbs Journal, 501 Galveston Dr., Redwood City, CA 94063
or call 415/366-3600x221. Specify issue and disk format.
I have not tried the package, but I wanted that code for the future
(like for when I get a VGA). I have no connection with Magna Carta.
I have no connection with _Dr. Dobbs_ other than refereeing a
submitted article or 2 many years ago.
