[Coco] My Windows Readme

[Stephen H. Fischer]

    This set of sources will build the following set of windows.

    Please note that the Tvdg, V1, V2, V3 and V4 files produce
    a set of device descriptors that will not match the TANDY
    ones. Either someone has been very sloppy or something strange
    is going on. Tvdg has been tried, but not V1-V4.

    As the source is here, you can change the colors to your liking.
    Suggest that Window_Com be studied before any changes.

I hope this post looks right, finally it does for me at least. (The Courier New monospaced font.)


This is the readme for the OS-9 Windows I created.

Looking at the makefile NitrOS-9 Shellplus will not allow asm of the source due to the file append bug I reported again today.

If someone wishes to try, I can supply the asm source and the makefile. (SHF97, 80T 2S DNS=3)

It appears that I did not allow for four (4) windows on the same screen. (I ran out of Windows Numbers.)
