[comp.sys.apollo] C version of crbmf from the adus tape

oliveria@caen.engin.umich.edu (ROQUE DONIZETE DE OLIVEIRA) (06/06/90)

Does anyone have a C version of the utility crbmf (CReate BitMap File),
which is available in the ADUS tape ? And similarly for curloc (CURsor
LOCation) and dscm  (DiSplay Color Map). I don't want to rewrite them
in C if someone has already done that (the original was in fortran).
In exchange, I offer an sr10  C version of dsbmf (DiSplay BitMap File).

grape% dsbmf
usage: dsbmf [-d | -f] [-s | -q] [-i] [-c] [-b] [-v] [-e prog] [-p secs] file1 [file2 ... filen] 

options                   description 

  -d          display bitmap file(s) in Direct mode 
  -f          display bitmap file(s) in Frame mode 
  -s          only display Statistics about bitmap file(s) 
  -i          display Information about the display. No bitmap file(s) required. 
  -c          show Cursor after each bitmap file is displayed 
  -b          Beep after each bitmap file is displayed 
  -u          display bitmap file(s) at the Upper-left corner 
  -v          show Version and patchlevel 
  -q          Quiet. Do not print informational messages while displaying bitmap file(s) 
  -e prog     Execute an external program (or system command) after each bitmap file is displayed. Caution with its option. 
  -p secs     Pause by secs seconds before displaying the next bitmap file 

The program dsbmf.c may need some improvements with respect to speed, better frame
mode handling  and pixel oriented bitmaps. But, it is a good starting point in its
present state. 

Please reply directly to me (if possible). If there is enough interest, I'll summarize
to the net.
