This archive contains example source code for using the Atari hardware using
all possible systems functions (and also hardware access, not recommended for
compatibility with future systems).

You need gcc, binutils, mintlib, gemlib (recent versions recommended).
To compile, just 'configure ; make ; make install'.

For .ttp and .gtp programs, the text output can be redirected to the file
"stdout.txt", by giving the "-file" parameter on the command-line.

See the file 'AUTHORS' for a list of drivers and documentations, used to
develop these test programs.


1 Keyboard
----------

Note: if you run kbde.tos, kbgd.tos or kbbi.tos from a terminal, you must set
it to a VT52 compatible type (TERM environment variable set to tw52, vt52 or
st52, see your termcap file),or most special keys will be prefixed by a ESC (27)
character, hence quitting the program.

5 Video
-------


5.1 AES
-------

This program displays VDI information about current video mode. Then it tries
to draw Red, Green and Blue bars using 3 different methods:
- On the left: direct write to video RAM (if available)
- On the middle: write in a temporary buffer, then vro_cpyfm() to screen.
- On the right: bars drawn using the v_bar() function.
This work is done in a window, any resolution, any bits per pixel.

Availability: All systems
Demo program: viae.gtp
Values read:  Screen size, bit depth
              Pixel organization (with EdDI driver)
              Screen address, pitch (with EdDI 1.1 driver)

5.2 VDI
-------

This program displays VDI information about current video mode. Then it tries
to draw Red, Green and Blue bars using 3 different methods:
- On the left: direct write to video RAM (if available)
- On the middle: write in a temporary buffer, then vro_cpyfm() to screen.
- On the right: bars drawn using the v_bar() function.
This work is done in fullscreen, any resolution, any bits per pixel.

Availability: All systems
Demo program: vivd.ttp
Values read:  Screen size, bit depth
              Pixel organization (with EdDI driver)
              Screen address, pitch (with EdDI 1.1 driver)
