Mapping Richard Coton of Walsall is a wargamer. Rather than go to the trouble of drawing freehand the scene of his battles, though, he uses this program. It allows you to edit a map, and print out the result on any Epson compatible printer. The screen is split in two -you edit the map in one half, and messages are presented to you in the other. A menu of options is displayed when the program runs. These are Save, Load, Graphics, Typing and print. The first two are fairly obvious, saving and loading various battlefields. Graphics let you place a particular graphics block anywhere on the map. These graphics blocks have been set up to display fantasy locations, but by suitable tinkering with the data statements, others can be placed on the screen as graphics. Full instructions are included, and the program is public domain. AA#40 |
