Comments
•
13503SHOW requires 13503BIOS.COM to be loaded prior to running.
•
Split screen viewing is limited on dual panels. The view port is fixed in place at the top left of the bottom LCD panel.
Panning and scrolling is still possible within the screen 2 view port.
•
The size of screen two is determined by available memory and number of colors/gray shades. If there is insufficient
memory for screen two 13503SHOW will not accept the two image files and will generate an error message.
•
When loading two GIF images, it may take several seconds of apparent inactivity to load the second image into
memory.
•
The GIF format must be 2, 16 or 256 color, non-interlaced GIF89a format.
•
13503SHOW will clear the screen when the Esc key is pressed unless the /k switch is used in the command line.
•
The file is loaded into the program at its image color depth (i.e., a 256 color image is initially displayed in 256 color
mode, a 16 color image is initially displayed in 16 color mode).
