What is this?
=============
This is the official AA-lib for OS/2 - the great ascii-art library by
Jan Hubicka & Kamil Toman. The official OS/2 driver is developed and maintained
by Thomas A. K. Kjaer(takjaer@imv.aau.dk). AA-lib is compiled using emx/gcc
version 0.9c+fix 02 and works on OS/2 Warp 3.x & 4.x - maybe on OS/2 2.x too,
but I haven't tested that. It makes use of the old VIO, KBD & MOU api, but
everything else is pure 32-bits code.
AA-lib programs works in either fullscreen or windowed OS/2 sessions, and
supports a wide range of resolutions.
What resolutions is supported?
==============================
AA-lib programs can be run in fullscreen or windowed OS/2 seesions. The
resolutions supported, and the font used in rendering are:
Full screen OS/2 session:
cols X Rows
-----------
132 x N, where 7<=N<=50
80 x N, where 7<=N<=50
Fonts used in rendering:
Rows | Font name
----------------
50 vga8
43 vga9
28 mda14
25 vga16
default vga16
Windowed OS/2 session:
Only your imagination sets the limit!
Fonts used in rendering:
Rows | Font name
----------------
50 vga8
43 vga9
28 mda14
25 vga16
default vga16
