This program is a small gift
PC owners PROFI. You can use it
view images with the extension. GRF in Spectrum mode. For those
who do not know, explained to. Graphics files with this
extension can be received in CP / M computer PROFI in programs
such as the Screen Editor, Grand-Croix, PCX viewer 'Converter,
etc. The logical question - who and why All this should be? If
you have a home PROFI and ask this question, then all the
reasons mentioned below is not for you With all due respect.
Press the "RESET" and erase Disk GRFV_1.6, because in humans,
though rarely employed in the CP / M PROFI, such a question
arise simply can not. Also, how and where to get the file
. GRF, it is probably understandable. Now a little about the
appropriateness of its use. A typical example. It took a drag,
say,. PCX file on SPECCY. At SPECTRUM'e human converters of
this kind I just have not seen, except for a couple of glitches
well, with very inhibitory scrolling screen. And PROFI in CP /
M is a very powerful viewer. PCX files with a decent design and
interface, moreover, despite the big screen (512X240), the rate
of scrolling is very nice to 3.5 (7) MHz. So, this is the
viewer knows how dashing convertible all different there. PCX
to. GRF file format. And, as a whole or pieces. And the maximum
file size is very impressive! But after such a complicated
operation to convert, you can unload that same resulting. GRF
on the TR-DOS CD and viewed on a standard SPECCY-screen
as well as record favorite screen on the drive for
editing, for example, in the same ART STUDIO. Here
Such "miracles on bends." Now, when it became quite clear to
all, few details about where some menus, and for what ...
Main menu:
1. Load GRF
Displays a directory of the drive to the screen with detailed
information on the current drive and the file on which the
cursor. Cursor control: Sinclair 2 + Q, A, O, P, SP. After
select the file is downloading it.
2. View GRF
View a downloaded option above. GRF file. Control keys for
scrolling the screen are the same. In the event that was not
loaded. GRF file, you will receive a message. We strongly
recommend using the regime TURBO, if it is in your computer,
the speed of scrolling of large screens will be smack in the
frame-! :) Yes, no not try to look at my program's color. GRF
or tumble VGA. This version of the viewer allows viewing format
PROFI-mono. Future versions will be possible to view files with
the mode information storage PROFI-color and possibly, CGA.
3. About GRF
Displays the details of. GRF file.
4. Invert color
Inverted attributes mode View GRF.
5. View screen
View the current screen. Here we want to clarify: the current
screen is one that has been projected out. GRF file when
clicking on the "fire" in mode View GRF.
6. Save screen
In fact, the record of the current screen to disk.
7. Short info
Brief information about the version number, author, and
how to deal with him (or me:) contact with you have any
questions, suggestions or anything to do.
8. Restart DOS
Unceremonious restart, and run boot'a.
Now, some system information and
only ...
Maximum size. GRF file to download and view - 144 sectors or,
respectively, 36,864 bytes, or exactly 36 kb. In fact, you can
make program to download and much larger file, but it
not be a fool, "bite" unnecessary in its view, the sector. :)
In this case, viewing. GRF file will be take place as usual,
but not quite ... The fact is I did not adjust the length of
the viewing mode, so it is possible that when scrolling to the
end. GRF, the missing sector, which had been "otkusany" at
boot, replaced by ROM or RAM on your computer. It's not
dangerous, and hanging or other glitches are not threatened.
Even the funny looks! :) I would also like to note that the
full program will run in 128K. Glitch with
48K is that when loaded into memory
. GRF file, if the output directory of the drive, then it is in
your file, and a slightly (?) To spoil when the regime 128K it
is read in one of the top "cans" of memory. Disc surgery in the
program occur with the bug hunting TR-DOS, and the appearance
of such a message is displayed, or more correctly - a lot of
posts! :) Oh, and in program is already the default is a
demonstration. GRF file, sorry for the contents ... ;) That's
really all about the version GRFV_1.6. Already have a fancy
version of the program. True, I I doubt that anyone who needs
bells and whistles such as "conversion to a monochromatic
palette of blue or red" or "conversion to the texture mode 4X4
(8X8)"?
