                                                                This display interface uses BIOS call $10 functions for a fast  display interface. A couple of state variables is contained     in a vector that is task specific such that different tasks     may use different windows. For simplicity windows always        span the whole width of the screen. They can be defined by      top and bottom line. This mechanism is used for a convenient    status display line on the bottom of the screen.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                \ Multitsking display interface loadscreen        ks cas 10nov05  Onlyforth    \needs Assembler   2 loadfrom asm.scr                                                                                  User area     area off    \ points at active window         Variable status   \ to switch status on/off                   | Variable cursor   \ points at area with active cursor                                                                           1 8 +thru   .( Multitasking display driver loaded ) cr                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        \ Multitsking display interface                   ks  6 sep 86                                                                    : Area:  Create  0 , 0 , 7 c, Does> area ! ;                  \ | col | row | top | bot | att |                                                                                               Area: terminal    terminal   area @ cursor !                                                                                      : (area   Create dup c, 1+ Does> c@ area @ + ;                                                                                0 | (area ccol    | (area crow    | (area ctop                    | (area cbot      (area catt    drop                                                                                            : window  ( topline botline -- )   cbot c!  ctop c! ;                                                                           : full     0 c/col 2- window ;  full                                                                                          \ Multitask (type (emit                           ks 20 dez 87                                                                    Code (type   ( addr len -- )   W pop   I push   R push             u' area U D) I mov   U push   D U mov                           $F # A+ mov   $10 int   u' catt I D) R- mov                     3 # A+ mov   $10 int   C push   D push   $E0E # C mov           1 # A+ mov   $10 int   I ) D mov   1 # C mov                    U inc   [[  U dec  0= not ?[[  2 # A+ mov   $10 int                 D- inc   ' c/row >body #) D- cmp   0= not                   ?[[  W ) A- mov   W inc   9 # A+ mov   $10 int   ]]? ]?
