There have been several questions asked on how to force program output to a different device. My question is simular, in that I want to direct a programs output, but not to a device, but to my own display routines. I have wrote a 130k baud non scrolling, adn 31K baud scrolling screen IO package simular to Tempus and the PD program ASL. I am writing a bbs, and want to run external games, but want to use my own screen IO routines. Not only because they are faster, but becasue I allow user definable fonts (ala Degas 8bit fonts). I know it is possible to redirect the output to a routine of my own, as several Gem based shells for compilers can redirect standard IO to their own window. (Laser C will redirect stdio). If anyone knows how to accomplish this, or is interested in the screen IO package let me know at one of the following places, or by replying to this message. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | Disclaimer - | | My employer hardly knows I exist, let alone my opinions .... | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | UUCP : ...!hp-pcd!orstcs!jacobs.cs.orst.edu!wayrynd |Apprentice | | | Domain: wayrynd@jacobs.cs.orst.edu | ST /|\ | | or: wayrynd%jacobs@cs.orst.edu |Programmer | | BBS : The Park BBS --> (503) 753-3342 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | Snail : 824 NW 10th, Corvallis OR, 97330 Darin Wayrynen | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
