One way to start adding multimedia to your program is to give your bitmaps motion. Rather than displaying < bitmaps in one fell swoop with BitBItQ, you can paint them with eye-catching algorithms that imply movement. This article supplies reusable code for two popular special effects: the crush and the diagonal display. Charles Mirho Features Dynamic-Link Device Drivers for DOS.19 DOS device drivers give your DOS program a degree of independence, but the user has to load them at boot time, where they take up precious conventional memory even when they are not being used. Thomas shows you how to create “dynalink device drivers" that provide device independence while offering DLL-style runtime flexibility. Thomas W. Nelson .mrb and .shg File Formats.37 Microsoft’s WinHelp introduced some proprietary bitmap file formats for handling hotspots and for coping with different display resolutions. Without detailed information on these new file formats, programmers have to depend on Microsoft for tools to edit and access the information the files contain. This article presents the first public documentation for the file formats generated by Microsoft’s hotspot editor and multiple-resolution bitmap compiler. Pete Davis Testing the Windows DOS Extender.47 Windows is, in part, a DOS extender. Every time your Windows application perofrms an INT 21 h (due to file I/O, for example), Windows has to copy the request to real-mode memory, get DOS to execute it, then move any resulting data back up to extended memory. But how complete a DOS extender is it? This article explores the answer to that question and provides a handy table that compares the DOS-extended environments of DOS, Windows 3.1, Windows NT, a 3.1 DOS box, and an NT DOS box. Walter Oney Product Spotlight Instant-C.73 Instant-C is an interactive tool for DOS programmers that provides an integrated, interactive environment for creating and debugging code. Unlike a traditional compiler, though, Instant-C provides incremental compilation — you can even change code while you are debugging. This article looks at the latest version of this distinctive tool for C programmers. Jeffrey L.
