| You can print the information in this file on your |
| line printer using 8 by 11 inch paper with the |
| printer set to 6 lines per inch. You can trim the |
| pages along the dotted lines and place the pages |
| in your product documentation binder. NOTE: This |
| file contains TABS which must be expanded. |

| GSX-86 SOFTWARE NOTES |
| =========================================== |
| |
| o To use GSX-86, you must have Version 1.1 or later |
| versions of IBM Personal Computer DOS. |
| |
| o The file GRAPHICS.EXE, described in your GSX-86 User's |
| Guide on page 3-1, has been replaced on your product |
| disk with the file GSX.EXE. Use GSX.EXE with the |
| following command to install GSX-86: A>GSX |
| |
| o The following table defines the six monitor driver |
| files for the IBM Personal Computer. Each driver is |
| described in detail following this table. This |
| information replaces monitor driver descriptions in |
| Section 4 of the GSX-86 User's Guide. |

| |
| All drivers described here accept keyboard characters |
| and do not require a mouse for proper operation. You |
| can use the arrow keys to position the graphics cursor. |
| |
| |
| IBMMM1P1.SYS This driver supports the IBM Color |
| Adaptor Card in monochrome mode with or |
| without the PC Mouse by Mouse Systems. |
| |
| To use the PC Mouse, connect it to |
| comm 1 (one of two RS-232 ports on your |
| IBM Personal Computer). The driver |
| initializes comm 1 for the appropriate |
| baud rate, parity, stop bits, and other |
| communications protocol necessary to use |
| the PC Mouse. If you use comm 1 with a |
| printer, plotter, or modem after using |
| it with a PC Mouse, reset communications |
| protocol for that particular device. |
| |
| IBMMMSP1.SYS This driver supports the IBM Color |
| Adaptor Card in monochrome mode with or |
| without the Microsoft Mouse. |
| |
| IBMHM1P1.SYS This driver supports the Hercules |
| Graphics Card with or without the PC |
| Mouse by Mouse Systems. |
| |
| To use the PC Mouse, connect it to |
| comm 1 (one of two RS-232 ports on your |
| IBM Personal Computer). The driver |
| initializes comm 1 for the appropriate |
| baud rate, parity, stop bits, and other |
| communications protocol necessary to use |
| the PC Mouse. If you use comm 1 with a |
| printer, plotter, or modem after using |
| it with a PC Mouse, reset communications |
| protocol for that particular device. |
| |
| IBMHMSP1.SYS This driver supports the Hercules |
| Graphics Card with or without the |
| Microsoft Mouse. |

| |
| o The DEMOGRAF program on your product disk has been |
| modified. Therefore, the listing of DEMOGRAF in |
| Appendix A of the CBASIC Compiler Graphics Guide is |
| inaccurate. DEMOGRAF.BAS contains the improved source |
| code. |
| |
| |
| CBASIC GRAPHICS GUIDE NOTES |
| ====================================================== |
| |
| The following issues apply to the "CBASIC Compiler |
| Language Graphics Guide" First Edition: May 1983. |
| |
| 1. Add the following statement to the graphics cursor |
| explanation on page 1-7. |
| |
| >> The term "cursor" refers to the current print |
| position for non-graphics output. The graphics |
| cursor only displays during execution of the |
| GRAPHIC INPUT statement. The cursor position at |
| the time the GRAPHIC INPUT statement executes, is |
| determined by the current position of the beam. |
| The position to which you move the graphics cursor |
| has no effect on the position of the beam. |
| |

| |
| |
| 2. The file GRAPHICS.EXE, described in your GSX-86 |
| User's Guide on page 3-1, has been replaced on your |
| product disk with the file GSX.EXE. Replace all |
| references to GRAPHICS.CMD on pages 2-2 and 2-3 in |
| the Graphics Guide with GSX.EXE. |
| |
| 3. Page 3-4 -- The boundaries of the device are |
| initially set to (1,1) upon execution of the |
| GRAPHIC OPEN statement. |
| |
| 4. Replace the explanation of the CLEAR statement on |
| page 3-10 with the following explanation. |
| |
| > The CLEAR statement clears the screen, and returns |
| the graphics cursor and beam to position (0,0). < |
| |
| 5. Page 3-25 -- The default LINE STYLE value is 1. |
| |
| 6. Page 3-30 -- The default MARKER TYPE value is 1. |
| |
| 7. Page 3-40 -- The beam and graphics cursor position |
| are initially set to (0,0) when a GRAPHIC OPEN |
| statement is executed. |
| |
| 8. Page 3-44 -- The default TEXT ANGLE is 0 radians. |
| |
| 9. Page 3-47 -- The VIEWPORT bounds are initially set |
| to 0,1,0,1 upon execution of a GRAPHIC OPEN |
| statement. |

| GSX-86 USER'S GUIDE NOTES |
| ====================================================== |
| |
| The following issues apply to the "GSX-86 User's Guide |
| for the IBM Personal Computer Disk Operating System." |
| First Edition: August 1983. |
| |
| 1. Page 4-19 indicates that the "monitors support 182 |
| marker sizes and 5 marker types." This GSX-86 |
| implementation supports only 1 marker size and 5 |
| marker types. |
| |
| 2. Page 4-20 indicates that the "IBM PC supports 182 |
| character sizes". This GSX-86 implementation |
| supports only one character size. |
| |
| 3. Page 4-22 indicates that you can "move the graphic |
| cursor in 45 degree angles by pressing the 7, 9, 1, |
| and 3 keys on the numeric keypad." In this |
| implementation of GSX-86, the 7 key homes the |
| graphic cursor to position (0,0). The other keys |
| terminate GRAPHIC INPUT. |
| |
| 4. Page 4-22 indicates that "pressing the insert (INS) |
| key changes the distance between large and small |
| movements." In this implementation of GSX-86, the |
| SHIFT and NUM LOCK keys toggle between large and |
| small increment graphics cursor movement. |

| THE GSX-86 PROGRAMMER'S TOOL KIT |
| ====================================================== |
| |
| Graphics command keywords incorporated into the CB86 |
| programming language are somewhat limited for the |
| commercial software developer. Therefore, if you |
| require additional graphics flexability, consider the |
| GSX-86 Programmer's Tool Kit available from Digital |
| Research. |
| |
| The GSX-86 Tool Kit provides monitor drivers and |
| language binding software for the CP/M-86 operating |
| system as well as IBM Personal Computer DOS. Of |
| primary interest to the commercial programmer, the |
| Tool Kit includes a licensing agreement enabling legal |
| redistribution of the GSX-86 product configured for |
| your IBM Personal Computer applications programs. |
| |
| The following list defines the contents of the GSX-86 |
| Programmer's Tool Kit. |
