13503MODE.EXE DISPLAY UTILITY
13503MODE is a menu driven display utility for the S1D13503 which demonstrates the color /gray shades as well as
available palettes. For 128K bytes of display memory either 4, 16 or 256 colors/gray shades are available.
Program Requirements
Installation
Copy the file 13503mode.exe to a directory that is in the DOS path on your hard drive.
Usage
13503MODE is invoked from the DOS command line as follows:
13503mode g=n [/?] [/d] [/k]
Where:
g
is the number of colors /gray shades: 2, 4, 16 or 256
/?
produces a usage message.
/d
inhibits display writes on startup - useful for examaning the L.U.T. of a previously
loaded image.
/k
exit the program and keep the image on the display - useful for batch file execution for demonstrations.
13503MODE displays a default color/gray shade pattern as a series of vertical or horizontal bars. The pattern, number of
colors/gray shades and current palette may be modified by the user when possible. Instructions to modify these options
appear when available.
An image other than the default one may be used as follows:
1.
run 13503bios.com if it is not already loaded
2.
load an image into the video buffer with 13503show.exe
13503show file.gif /k
3.
load 13503mode /d
The Look-Up Table (L.U.T.) of the image file displayed may now be manipulated by the user.
Pressing the ESC key terminates the program and restores the original 13503BIOS settings.
