BBL.SYS Written by H. D. Todd Wesleyan University August, 1992 hdtodd@mockingbird.wesleyan.edu BBL is a device driver that displays characters written to it as large block letters on the screen. It uses no interrupts and is a passive, output-only device driver, acting only when it receives characters. Distribution files for BBL: 00README.TXT This file. BBL.SYS The BBL device driver, to be loaded by config.sys. BBL.ASM The source file for the BBL device driver. MAKEFILE The make file for BBL. make makes BBL.SYS make doc makes the doc files make test makes the testing program make clean removes files for fresh remake BBL-TEST.EXE BBL-TEST.C Testing program for BBL. Demonstrates the commands and operating modes for BBL. The .EXE version is compiled using only 8086 instructions. BBL-DEMO.BAS Demonstrates the use of BBL in BASIC (written for QBASIC but should be compatible with others, e.g., GWBASIC). BBL-MAN.TEX The source file for the BBL user's manual. Written in LaTeX. Uses MANPAGE.STY BBL-PLM.TEX The source file for the BBL programmer's logic manual. Written in LaTeX. BBL-MAN.PS BBL-PLM.PS Postscript versions of the user's manual and programmer's logic manual. MANPAGE.STY Style description for Unix-style man pages for LaTeX. Used in BBL user's manual. TSTBBL.ASM TASM source code for prototyping techniques used to display chars in BBL. Useful for debugging purposes if you decide to tinker with BBL source code. TSTCMD.ASM TASM source code for prototyping techniques for processing command-line options for the device driver. Useful for debugging if you decide to add command-line options.
