Robert C. Arp, Jr. 278-1 San Tomas Aquino Rd. Campbell, Ca 95008 March 17, 1989 To all concerned: Reference: Atari ST Machine Specific Programming In Assembly Chapter 2 I am uploading chapter 2 as an ASCII file. Figures referenced in the chapter are contained in BOOK2IMG.ARC The figures that accompany the chapter are .IMG files. These files can be viewed via the IMGSHOW.PRG available in IMGSHOW.ARC, file #9440 of this library. The identification of each img file indicates its location of reference within the text. For example, FIG2_2D.IMG is the figure specified at Figure 2.2D within the text. Using IMGSHOW.PRG to view the figures obviates ownership of 1ST Word Plus in order to read the chapter. Of course, since the chapter is being sent as an ASCII file, none of the special effect graphics can be seen. Furthermore, IMGSHOW.PRG uses the entire screen to display the IMG files. But, at least, you will be able to see the figures which are referenced. To set things up so that each figure can be viewed individually, place all of the IMG files and IMGSHOW.PRG in the same directory. There are two ways in which the figures can be viewed. Method one: 1. Click once on IMGSHOW.PRG. 2. Click on Install Application under Desktop's Options menu. A dialog box will appear. 3. Type IMG as the Document Type. 4. Leave GEM as the Application Type. 5. Click on the OK button. 6. Click twice on the IMG file you want to view. 7. When the figure appears on the screen you can obtain a hard copy using the Alternate/Help key routine. 8. To exit the IMGSHOW.PRG, press the Return key. Method two: 1. Double click on IMGSHOW.PRG. A dialog box will appear. 2. For Show File Info: select Y. 3. For White Background: select Y. 4. For Wait For Keypress: select Y. 5. For Cycle: select N. 6. For Pause Time: leave it at <>. 7. Click on the PROCEED button. 8. As each figure appears on the screen, a data table will also appear, next to it. The most important information shown in the data table is the name of the IMG file. If you use the Alternate/Help key routine to obtain a hard copy of each figure, the IMG file name in the data table will identify it for future use. 9. After a figure appears, it will remain until the Return key is pressed. 10. The IMGSHOW.PRG will show each file once, in turn. Sincerely, Bob
