04/22/90 5:37pm Instructions for "The Ultimate Ansi Editor V1.10(BETA) * * Introduction and Purpose * * After growing very tired of it being nearly impossible to create multi page ansi documents with most avaiable ansi editors, and none of them supporting WWIVAnsi, I decided to write a ansi editor that would include everything. In the beta test version it contains hardly everything, but rather only the parts which I considered the most challenging to program, namely the scrolling ansi buffer and the ANSI and WWIV ansi interruption. At this point the program is exactly one week old, and during the next week I will be adding such things as cut and paste, and more support for the way WWIV stores its ansi files(ie B&W, ANS,MSG). Installation Unlike most ansi editors you absolutely do not have to have your ANSI.SYS file installed. The program understands ANSI and WWIVansi with out any external help. Running the program. Once executed you will see two title screens, then you will enter the main program. Once inside the program you will be able to move the hi-lighted part of the top bar and select several pull down windows(NOTE: Mouse support is not setup yet, as well as a few of the items on the top bar). To begin drawing simply hit your escape key and you will be in drawing mode. Hitting your escape key again brings you right back to the top bar control. Use your escape key to toggle between these two modes. Commands: ALT-F: Change the color you are drawing with ALT-B: Change the current background color ALT-L: Load an ANSI or WWIVansi graphic ALT-S: Save from beginning to current location ALT-H: On-Line Help ALT-C: Clear screen, and start over Display Graphic Characters Select Graphics Set Copytight 1990 by Jeff Heaton
