Introduction
------------
Doublestuff is an applesoft compatible language, that is not loaded like
applesoft, it is loaded into the area of memory were integer basic is
loaded. It actually "Doubles" the graphics of your 128k //e or standard
Apple //c. The Basic prompt now, instead of "]" is now "}". To use this
you MUST be in 80 columns, and when you boot the disk, it will install
Doublestuff into memory, and put you into 80 columns,with the "}"
prompt.
The Demos
---------
To see whats available for demo programs, type "catalog" watch your
typing. A program listed is called "ME FIRST" this program when executed
will run the Double lo-res demo menu, if you press <ESC> from the
inverse menu <made like that for easier viewing on color composite
monitors>, pressing <ESC> will bring you to the double Hi-res menu. Just
type the number you want on either menu,to select what you want to see.
The Language
------------
The Language is basically the same, except for these new changes, every
thing is compatible:
o Hi-res is now 0-559 by 0-191 instead of 0-279 by 0-191 pixels.
(Hploting Co-ordinates:X=0 to 559,Y=0 to 191)
o Lo-res is now 0-79 by 0-47 instead of 0-39 by 0-47 blocks of
graphics. (Plot, Hlin, Vlin Co-ordinates:X=0 to 79, Y=0 to 191)
o In Hi-res, the colors are the same as Lo-res
o The commands HGR and GR turns on graphics mode to the last color
used, I.E.:Hcolor=5, then a HGR would turn on Hi-res with a grey
screen. To get a black Hi-res or Lo-res screen, just do a hcolor=0
or color=0 respectively.
o The disk has Standard Dos 3.3 and Turbo dos, for faster access,
this disk will not work with: Diversi Dos, David Dos or ProntoDos.
o Here are the colors and numbers for HCOLOR=x and color=x, (x=the
number of the color), 0=black.
1. Red 5. Gray 9. Orange 13. Yellow
