CUG CD-ROM Vols. 320-339
This volume, contributed by Wesley G. Faler (MI), contains a program
that implements an image manipulation algorithm called
convolution. The program takes an image file as input, applies
the convolution algorithm to the image, and generates a new image.
Supports only the CUT ("Dr. Halo") input file format. The
program was developed under MS-DOS using Turbo C v2.0 and its Borland
Graphics Interface (BGI) features. The disk includes C source code,
documentation, and sample scanned image files.
This shareware package, written by James M. Curran (NJ), contains a
collection of functions to control a mouse. These functions provide easy
access to the low-level functions of the mouse interrupt, as well as a
simplified system for defining buttons or hot spots on the screen. The
disk includes Small and Large model libraries for Microsoft C v5.1, a
sample test program, and documentation that describes each mouse
function.
This volume contains four programs, Trace by William M. Rogers (NJ), RAM
Test by Dean Lance Smith, Mkptypes by Eric R. Smith (Canada), and Malloc
Leak Trace by Michael Schwartz (WA). The disk includes all the C source
code and documentation for each program.
Trace is a collection of debugging macros. Using ANSI C features such as
__FILE__ and __LINE__, these macros provide enough
information to trace the execution of a program.
RAM Test, written by Dean Lance Smith with Mohammad Khurrum and Chaiyos
Ruengsakulrach, is an implementation of the ATS (Algorithmic Testing
Sequence) algorithm developed by Knaizuk and Hartman and the ATS+
algorithm developed by Nair. The program tests RAM for any single or
multiple stuck-at-0 or stuck-at-1 faults. These programs can be compiled
under MS-DOS using Turbo C.
Mkptypes is an ANSI prototype generator that takes one or more C source
code files, and produces a list of function prototypes for the external
functions defined in the input source files. The program is written in
Standard C.
The Malloc Leak Trace package is designed to help trace dynamic memory
allocation leaks. The package provides the standard
malloc/free/realloc
interface, but keeps track of all malloc'd buffers,
including their size, order of call, and address.
Explod was contributed by Dennis Lo and David Lo (Canada). A graphics
program, Explod, generates an animated fireworks display. Explod works
with Hercules, VGA, EGA, or CGA graphics cards. By specifying options on
the command line, you can control some performance parameters such as
video type, the number of simultaneous explosions on the screen, delay
factor, the number of explosions to display before exiting, gravity, and
wind. The disk includes a complete set of C source code and assembly
files, sample explosion data files, executable code, and documentation.
Explod compiles with Turbo C v1.5 or later and requires MASM v5.0, but
can be compiled with other compilers by changing the segment and group
names.
David Lo has written an adventure game called Beyond The
Tesseract. This adventure game recognizes two-word
verb-noun commands for moving, taking inventory, manipulating
objects, and saving the game. The program recognizes about 200 words.
The disk includes C source code and documentation. The program compiles
under Turbo C v1.5 or later.
WGCONIO Library, contributed by William Giel (CT), is
a set of text-windowing functions that emulate most of Turbo C's text
windowing functions. Giel created the library after discovering that
some of Turbo C functions didn't work when the application program
was memory resident. The library provides box drawing, cursor manipulation,
keyboard control, window manipulation, shadowing, and text editing
in windows. The disk includes C source code, documentation, a sample
program and small-model library. Although the library was developed
using Turbo C v2.0, it should be compilable using other C compilers
by replacing int86() calls with the corresponding routines
of your compiler.
This shareware VGA graphics library contributed by Ismail
Zia (U.A.E.) contains routines for filling a region with specified
pattern and color, setting up a view port, drawing an area bigger
than the physical screen, saving and loading a screen image, drawing
a rectangle, ellipse, polygon, line and arc with specified line style
and color, and transforming, scaling, and rotating an object, etc. The
program works on VGA standard modes and some extended modes. The
distribution disk includes a huge model library for Microsoft C v5.0
or later and a large model library for Zortech C/C++ v2.0, documentation
that describes all the functions in the library, demo animation image
files, programs, and batch files, font files, and executable stroked
font editor. Since the program was developed in C and 80386 Assembly
(not included in the distribution), it will run under MS-DOS only
on a 386 machine.
This shareware package, submitted by Jan Schumann (SoftC
Ltd.), provides 120 functions for fully compatible access to dBASE
III/III+ and dBASEIV data, memo, and index files; and Clipper and
Foxbase index files. The distribution disk includes complete documentation,
header file, demo programs, and small memory model libraries for Turbo,
Zortech, and Microsoft C. Version 2.1 provided new features: the
support for dBXL, Quicksilver data and FoxPro memo files, functions
added to perform record I/O with users' structures, object code libraries
for Zortech C++, Turbo C/C++ and Microsoft Quick/Professional C. Version
3.0 provides full dBaseIV support, fully-automatic record and file
locking, faster re-index functions, user-extensible Index Expression
Evaluator, faster index searches, and more compact index files. Windows
DLL support is available from the vendor.
J. Brown (KS) contributed Panels for C, a shareware
package containing user interface routines (windows and menus) for
the IBM PC. Unlike other window libraries, screen fields and attributes
that are defined in an ASCII text file are interpreted at runtime. Thus,
fine-tuning user interfaces is possible without recompiling the program. The
distribution disk includes a small model object code for Microsoft
C, and demo C source and executable code. The current version (v2.3)
provides Turbo C support, adds an Interactive Panel Design (IPD) utility,
and allows the inclusion of panel definitions in C source programs
by utilizing the PATH environment variables to find panel definition
files.
WTWG v 1.2 is a public domain software package with
routines for Window Text mode or Window Graphics mode, submitted by
David Blum (CA). It provides drawing boxes, overlapping windows, mouse-selectable
buttons, scroll bars, save/restore screens, text/graphics mode operations,
pull-down and pop-up menus, context-sensitive help, programmer-definable
hot keys, keyboard macros, transparent integration of mouse and keyboard,
and a virtual memory system using expanded memory, RAM or disk space.
The disk includes all the C source code that can be compiled under
Turbo C v2.0/C++ or Microsoft v5.1; demo C source and project/batch
files; utilities for online help, keyboard macros, and file manipulation;
and documentation.
This volume contains a collection of submissions. Most of the programs
were derived from some UNIX commands and rewritten to compile under
MS-DOS or OS/2. The distribution disk includes all the C source code.
- Robert Artigas Jr. (TN) has ported UNIX utilities, cat (concatenate
files), cut (cut out selected fields of each line of a file), tr
(transliterate characters), wc (word count), vis (visual display of
files) and egrep (regular expression matcher search utility) to MS-DOS
and OS/2 environments. egrep uses regular expression functions developed
by Henry Spencer (Canada).
- Martin D. Winnich (CA) has modified a cross-referencer, XC, using
Microsoft QuickC. The program is now called XCXREF and processes more
symbols from input text.
- Arkin Asaf (Israel) has contributed cflow, define and dprintf. cflow
is a program that displays a function dependency tree from input C
source files. The program doesn't preprocess and parse the code, but it
does a good job of displaying the function dependency tree. It
distinguishes between function definition and function declarations.
- Henry de Feraudy (France) has submitted a string substitution
utility, csubst. csubst extracts strings or substitutes strings in C
source code. The string extraction helps create a substitution.
Makefiles for Turbo C, Mark Williams C, Zortech C, and QuickC are
included as well as the C source files.
CTask v2.2, contributed by Thomas Wagner (West Germany),
is a set of routines that allows a C program to execute functions
in parallel, without a programmer building in sophisticated polling
and switching schemes. CTask handles the switching of processor time
with a priority-based, pre-emptive scheduler to provide routines for
inter-task communication, event signaling and task interlocking. The
package includes drivers for MS-DOS serial I/O, printer buffering
and concurrent access to DOS functions. To compile CTask, Microsoft
C v5.1 or later, or Turbo C v2.0 or later are required. Microsoft
MASM 5.1 or later, or TASM 1.01 or later is required for the assembly
parts. The disk includes well-written documentation, C and assembly
source code, library modules for Microsoft C and Turbo C, make files,
and sample application source code.
Contributed by Gary Osborn (CA), SE is a revision of
the GED editor (CUG #199), which is a revision of the e
editor (CUG #133). This version uses up to 500K of RAM for text storage,
while functioning with as little as 6K of allocatable memory. A stale
page directory has doubled the virtual disc system's efficiency. An
embedded runoff function will reformat internal text as per
dot commands, and a text push stack has been added for pushing
and popping lines. The undo capability has been extended to
include redo. The program supports free cursor movement. The
command and display structure has been enhanced, but still retains
Wordstar compatibility where feasible. The program was developed
under Microsoft C v4.0. The distribution disk includes C source code,
documentation, and an executable file.
Written by Bjorn Larsson (Sweden), this volume includes
the PCcurses v1.4 cursor/window control package. PCcurses offers the
functionality of UNIX curses, plus some extras. Normally, you should
be able to port curses-based programs from UNIX curses to PCcurses
without making changes. PCcurses is a port and rewrite of Pavel Curtis'
public domain ncurses package. All the code has been rewritten.
The disk includes C and assembly source code, user documentation,
makefiles for various compilers, and a public domain make
executable file. In addition, the distribution disks include some
game programs such as stone, bugs, jotto, yahtzee. This program can
be compiled under Microsoft C v3.0, 4.0, 5.1, or Turbo C v1.0, 2.0
or 68K Paragon C. MASM is required for the assembly file.
Bob Withers (TX) has modified the GNU version of AWK.
This gAWK version provides all the features and functionality of the
current UNIX AWK version, except for using pipes and user-defined
functions. The program was developed under Microsoft C v5.1 and can
be executed under MS-DOS and OS/2. The distribution disk includes
C source code, Yacc source, makefile, user documentation, sample
AWK programs, and AWK executable file. Yacc (CUG#285 BISON) is required
to compile the Yacc source.
Written by Thomas Williams, Colin Kelley, modified by
Russell Lang, Dave Kotz, John Campbell and submitted by Henri de Feraudy
(France), GNUPLOT (ver.2.02) is a command-driven interactive function
plotting program with bit mapped graphics routines. By typing commands
interactively or loading a text file that contains commands, users
can draw graphs or plot data points on screen in a given graphics
mode or on a printer using a given printer driver. GNUPLOT provides
a set of commands: loading/saving command file; plotting a function
(builtin or user-defined) or data files, printing a title, label or
arrow on a graph; clipping data points; specifying graphics mode (CGA,
EGA, VGA if PC), line style, grid, ranges, offset, scaling size, sampling
rate, polar/rectangular coordinates; turning on/off auto-axis scaling
or auto-tic marks; output redirection; on-line help; and escaping
to shell. Builtin mathematical functions are the same as the corresponding
function in the UNIX math library, except that all functions accept
integer, real, and complex arguments. The 'sgn' function is also
supported as in BASIC.
GNUPLOT supports the following graphics and printer drivers: AED 512,
AED 767, BBN BitGraph, Roland DXY800A, EEPIC, Epson LX-800, Fig, HP2623,
HP2648, HP75xx, HPGL, IBM Proprinter, Imagen, Iris4D, Kermit-MS, LaTeX,
NEX CP6 pinwriter, PostScript, QMS QUIC, ReGis (VT125 and VT2xx),
Selanar, Tek 401x, Vectrix 384, and UNIXplot. For the PC version, it
supports IBM CGA, EGA, MCGA, VGA, Hercules, AT&T 6300, and Corona 325
graphics. Version 2 has added parametric functions, X11 Motif support
and printer drivers for Epson 60dpi printer, Tandy DMP-130 printer, Star
color printer, emTeX, AT&T 6300, Tektronix 410x, X11, HP LaserJet II, VT
like Tektronix emulator, Kyocera Laser printer and SCO CGI). The disk
includes a complete set of C source files for the program and graphics
drivers, makefile for UNIX, Microsoft C and Turbo C, documentation, and
demo command files. The program has compiled under UNIX, VMS, and MSDOS
(using Microsoft C or Turbo C).
Written in a combination of Yacc and C, Frankenstein
includes a series of cross-assemblers for 8- and 16-bit microcomputers;
RCA 1802-1805, Signetics/Phillips 2650, Hitachi 6301-6303, 64180,
Mos Technology/Rockwell 6502, Motorola 6805, 6809, 68hc11-6801-6800,
Texas Instruments tms7000, Intel 8041-8048, 8051, 8085, 8096, Zilog
Z8, Z80. The programs were developed and tested under UNIX/XENIX and
MS-DOS systems. Turbo C v1.5 was used for MS-DOS. Yacc or Bison
(CUG285) is required to build executable code.
This volume includes EGA graphics applications and utilities contributed
by Scott Young (NH) and Marwan El-Augi (FRANCE). Young's shareware
package, EGAPAL, is a series of programs allowing users to create EGA
graphics images for the 640x350 and 16-color mode. EGAPAL includes a
graphics image editor program, a utility that converts the graphics image
into a header file to be included in your C programs, and a library that
loads a graphics image from disk or header files to the screen. The
package requires Turbo C and includes documentation and a sample program.
El-Augi's palette editor, EDIPAL, allows the user to change the EGA
palette and save it. Saving the new palette is implemented by not
closing the graphics system, therefore the change is not permanent.
This volume contains the source code that appeared in James Pinson's
book Designing Screen Interfaces in C (paperback 267 pp., published by
Yourdon, February 1991, ISBN 0132015838, distributed by Prentice Hall).
The disk includes C source code for screen/window functions such as
pop-up menus, moving light bar menus, and multi-level moving light bar
menus. The code will compile under all memory models of Turbo C and
Quick C.
The cross development tools for MS-DOS from Brian Brown (New Zealand)
includes a 68000 C compiler, which was adapted from CUG204 68K C compiler
and assembler adapted from CUG261 68K cross assembler. The compiler uses
both intermediate and peephole optimization and generates very efficient
68000 assembly code. It accepts floating point types but doesn't know
how to deal with them. The preprocessor supports only #include,
and #define. There is no standard runtime library support. The
disk includes the C source code and MS-DOS executable code for both
compiler and assembler and documentation. The source code will compile
under Turbo C. Currently, no commercial use of the programs is allowed.
This shareware package from William Letendre (NJ), is a collection of C
functions to help programmers manage user-inititated interrupts such as
Control-c, Control-Break, lock keys, and reboot sequences. Properly
handling these interrupts is one of the hardest things an MS-DOS
developer will run up against. The disk includes small and large memory
model libraries for Microsoft C v5.1 and v6.0, Quick C v2.5, Turbo C
v2.0, and Turbo C++ v1.0, and sample demo programs.
