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 from the inverse menu , pressing 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 2. Dark Blue 6. Medium Blue 10. Gray 2 14. Aqua 3. Violet 7. Light Blue 11. Pink 15. White 4. Dark Green 8. Brown 12. Light Green
