/* TWEAK 1.6á - Mold your own VGA modes by Robert Schmidt of Ztiff Zox Softwear, (C) Copyright 1992-93 For documentation, see TWEAK.DOC. History: 0.9 First version available to the public. Aw, what the heck, I'll admit this is the first version ever... I know the usage of C++ classes may look a little stupid, but it works. Another stupid, *stupid* thing is the mixed use of conio and iostream, but hey, it works too! This version is not commented whatsoever. Pretty lame interface - no help. Test screens assume text start at segment 0xb800, and graphics at 0xa000. 1.0 Changed from small to large memory model. Not that I need it, it just makes the code more readable. Commented heavily, and beautified the code. Nearly rewrote the program completely, by using another OO strategy. Changed use of abort() to exit(1). Text test pattern now fills entire text buffer from 0xb800:0x0000 to 0xb800:0xffff. TWEAK now captures whatever screen mode is active at startup, instead of defaulting to BIOS mode 3 (80x25). The screen is reset to the startup BIOS mode at exit, too. Added 'S' and 'L' as synonyms for F9 and F10. Added Shift+TAB as a companion to TAB. Editing screen now uses 80x50 instead of 80x25. Added one text test screen which uses the 8x8 font. Added online help, not context sensitive as promised. Maybe later. Edititing screen is cleared when a test is initiated, so that it is easier to see that something happened if the wrong test screen is selected. Removed startup banner. Removed use of cout and cin for screen/keyboard I/O, in favour of the colors and windows provided by conio.h. Instead, I use fstreams for *file* I/O... much more convenient than FILEs. Made the interface more cheerful by using lots of colors. 1.1 Nuked a serious bug in the text test pattern. At the end, it wrote characters far outside of the video buffer, overwriting 0x800 bytes at the start of the 0xC000 segment. Most PCs have ROM in this area, so I didn't notice the bug until I ran TWEAK on some 486s with a SCSI harddisk. I think those map some RAM to that segment, in any case TWEAK crashed whenever the text pattern was used on those machines. I Decided not to read back the registers when returning from the test screen. It was not very usable, and imposed some problems when using different test screens. Never released. 1.5 Added the AutoDetect testing pattern, which makes use of my new, mode independant VGA graphics library to make the testing much more interesting and informative. Might add simple menus to this later. Fixed a bug in the VGA library for Chained 256-color modes, which caused scrolling to go four times as far as intended. Made the help window larger, more readable. Added question of confirmation to quit when ESC is pressed. Added lots more sample modes (from xlib06). 1.6 Added the mode heuristics seen in the autodetect test screen to the editor screen. This gives the user instant feedback on his work. Fixed the RegTable::out() method to correctly reset the sequencer. Result: no flickering when testing modes. The autodetect screen sets the VGA palettes to the BIOS default. */ #ifndef __LARGE__ # ifndef __COMPACT__ # ifndef __HUGE__ # error A large data model is required! # endif # endif #endif #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include "Screen.HPP" #include "RegEdit.HPP" #include "TestPat.HPP" #include "detect.hpp" void helpWindow() { tempBuffer swap(textScr); swap.save(); window(5,5,editWidth-5,33); textattr(HELP_COLOR); clrscr(); window(6,6,editWidth-6,32); gotoxy(1,1); cprintf("TWEAK 1.6á by Robert Schmidt - Ztiff Zox Softwear\n\r" "Quick reference help screen\n\r" "\n\r" "Up/Down/Home/End: select register\n\r" " Backspace: enable/disable register\n\r" " 2 hex digits: set register value\n\r" " -/+: decrease/increase register value\n\r" " F1-F8: toggle register bits 7-0\n\r" " F9 or 'S': save register set to file\n\r" " F10 or 'L': load set from file\n\r" " 'M': select BIOS mode to work from\n\r" " TAB/Shift-TAB: select test screen\n\r" " ENTER: show test screen\n\r" " 'H': show this help window\n\r" " ESC: Quit TWEAK immediately\n\r" "\n\r" "The mode heuristics shown are NOT perfect.
