   Welcome to Eagle Performance Software!

   This a demonstration of high performance software for Turbo C and Turbo
   Pascal!  DESQQWIK.C must be compile with files found in QWIKC20.ARC written
   in MASM 4 and made into a library for Turbo C 2.0.  It uses the new PS/2
   video detection scheme and applies it to other machines as well.  QWIKC20
   can use both the CRT screen and create virtual screens.  This demo shows
   that QWIKC20 works superbly in multi-tasking environments like DESQview.

   Shareware - These routines are the fastest routines available today, and
   the license fee is between $29 and $39 depending on your application of
   private or commercial use.


   Eagle Performance Software has developed identical products for both Turbo
   C and Turbo Pascal.  Our pledge is to provide you quality products with
   unparalleled performance and ease of use.


   QWIK

   QWIK - For direct screen video, QWIK is the highest performance screen
   writing tools available today for all text modes in any video
   configuration.  QWIK provides capabilities far beyond in the unit/library
   that comes with your compiler.   Here are some of the features:

     . Writes on all IBM compatible computers, displays and adapters
       including MDA, CGA, EGA, MCGA, VGA, 8514/A, Hercules and 3270
       PC.
     . Superior video detection routine.
     . Eliminates snow and flicker.
     . Writes directly to the screen in absolute rather than relative
       coordinates.
     . Writes in all text modes and column modes.
     . Writes on all video pages.
     . Writes on virtual screens in RAM.
     . Writes text and attribute, text only, or attribute only.
     . Reads strings, characters and attributes.
     . Uses End-Of-String (EOS) marker for quick string chaining.
     . Provides standardized cursor shapes for all adapters.
     . Enhanced cursor movement.
     . Compatible with DESQview and similar multitasking environments.
     . Up to 2300% faster than standard direct screen writing.
     . Only 2.7k bytes of code if all utilities are used (approx. 40).
     . Optimized by the compiler/linker and drops unused code.
     . Used in all other Eagle products.

   Here are the product versions:

      File name    Compiler  Release date
      -----------  --------  ------------
      QWIK42B.ARC  TP4/5      10-01-88

      QWIKC20.ARC  TC2        12-03-88


   WNDW

   WNDW - For multi-level virtual windows, WNDW is the highest performance
   window utilities available today.  It offers very powerful utilities for
   full window control and management you probably never thought possible.
   They are simple and yet very powerful with high speed and tight code.  With
   WNDW, you can choose the absolute writing routines of QWIK, the window-
   relative writing routines of WNDW, and even customize your own.  Here are
   some of the features you will discover:

   . Uses the powerful direct screen writing routines of QWIK.
   . Up to 254 fixed or virtual windows can be on the screen at one time.
   . Extremely high-speed virtual screens in RAM (up to 40 times faster).
   . Virtual windows are fully updated on screen, even if covered!
   . Virtual windows have virtual titles.
   . Fully supported hidden windows saved in RAM.
   . Fully supports all video pages.
   . Adjustable-rate moving, resizing, and scrolling.
   . All windows can be randomly accessed, not just stacked or tiled.
   . 28 window-relative writing routines.
   . 15 different border styles with shadow and zoom effects.
   . Full line drawing procedures.
   . Full cursor mode control for each window.
   . Writes in all text modes and column modes.
   . Only 13k bytes of code if all utilities are used (approx. 70).
   . Used in all other Eagle products.
