Could someone please explain or refer me to articles in Sextant or
elsewhere about how to use interlace mode on a '100?

I'd appreciate it if any answers were posted for the rest of us too. It's one of those things I always wanted to look into but will never have the time.

By banging my head on the Technical Manual, I figured out how to put the screen in interlace mode and and get it back into normal mode without totally hosing it. :-) The basic routines for changing screen modes and plotting points have been stable for quite a long time. Over the last few years I've added things like circles, b-splines, Hershey font support, and a device-independent upper layer coupled with device-dependent driver layers for the screen and my C. Itoh ProWriter. The whole mess has evolved over four different compiler versions from three different vendors. (Lattice C 1.0 -> Lattice C 2.1 -> MSC 4.0 -> Turbo C 1.0) I would try to explain how to put the screen in interlace mode, but the code is at home and I'm not sure I can remember all the nitty gritty details. So I'll offer the next best thing. If you don't get a better response from somebody else, send mail and I'll bring my graphics code in from home and mail it to you.

Paul, I too would like a copy of the routines - sounds like a BETTER deal than pointers to the tech manuals. If there's enough interest, and if Gern agrees, you might consider posting the package. don [malpass@LL-vlsi.arpa]
