DOS ain't dead

PTCpas v.0.99.10 (Announce)

posted by Laaca , Czech republic, 24.05.2010, 22:01

In 4/2010 a new new version of graphics library PTCpas was released.
It is a very good graphics library for Freepascal based on OpenPTC library.
It has very good DOS support.

News:

0.99.10
- fpc 2.4.0 support
- Win64 DirectX support
- X11 DGA 2.0 support
- VBE 2+ LFB support. Enabled by default. Offers a great performance
improvement, but may fail on buggy VGA BIOSes or buggy DOS virtual
machines. If it causes problems, it can be disabled by adding
'disable lfb' to ptcpas.cfg.
- API changes:
- in the hermes unit, THermesHandle was replaced with
THermesConverterHandle, THermesClearerHandle and THermesPaletteHandle,
which should be treated as opaque pointers, not integers. This only
matters if you use unit hermes directly, and not ptc.
- various bugfixes and code cleanup.

DOS-u-akbar!
