LUNAR for Windows 1.0 - Microsoft Windows Screen Manager/Enlarger

LUNAR for Windows has been produced to enable you to enlarge the screen of a
Microsoft Windows application up to eight times its normal size, and to manage
the enlarged screen. LUNAR incorporates the following features:

*   Choice of Magnification

1x, 2x, 4x, 6x, and 8x magnification, selectable from hot keys.

*   Automatic Following of the Mouse Pointer

LUNAR can automatically follow the mouse pointer, with selectable scroll
margins and scroll speeds.

*   Automatic Following of Menus and Dialog Boxes

LUNAR can automatically follow all windows, Dialog boxes, controls within
Dialog boxes, pop-up and pull-down menus.  It can also optionally centre on
the LUNAR screen any menu or Dialog box that appears.  This automatic
tracking feature draws your attention immediately to any menu or Dialog box
that appears.

*   Automatic Following of Text Entry Cursors

LUNAR can automatically follow the text entry cursors, such as those found in
Word for Windows,  Notepad, and Write.

*   Automatic Following of the Keyboard Focus

LUNAR can automatically move the mouse pointer (and therefore the display)
to the current keyboard focus, selectable with a hot key.

*   Overview facility

LUNAR has an overview facility, so that you can see where you are on the
'real' screen and view the layout.  (Selectable with a hot key.)

*   Line View Facility

LUNAR has a Line View facility, which allows you to view the window currently 
under the mouse pointer as a single line moving across the centre of the 
LUNAR screen.  This is a form of the popular 'scrolling' feature of our 
earlier software.  (Selectable with a hot key.)

*   Help facility

LUNAR has a context-sensitive on-line help facility.

*   User-definable hot keys

All hot keys are user-definable, to avoid key clashes with other Windows
applications.

*   User-definable Mouse Pointer colour

You can change the mouse pointer to a colour of your choice, independent of the
application running.

*   If you run a DOS application in a Window, LUNAR will follow the
    applications DOS cursor!

*   Automatic Application Configuration

All these features allow you to tailor LUNAR for efficient and 'intelligent'
presentation of information.  Once such customisation has been created for a
particular application, these settings can be saved and reloaded automatically
every time that application is started.  This is a powerful feature of LUNAR,
because you can go on to create configuration files for all your Windows
applications, and have them automatically load when you start your
Windows application!

LUNAR for Windows   -   Demonstration Disk Notes


How to use this disk:

Your LUNAR demonstration disk contains a version of LUNAR for Windows which
can be used for 15 minutes at a time. (After 15 minutes you will need to
re-start Windows in order to run LUNAR for Windows again.)

To run the demonstration program:

*       Firstly, use PKUNZIP to "unzip" all the files onto a blank formatted
        floppy disk. (The demonstration program requires that the file
        LWIN.DLL is in drive A: for it to run.)

*       Insert your demo disk into drive A:.

*       Type in the seven letters INSTALL, and press the <ENTER> key.

INSTALL will rename your Windows display driver to ORIG.DRV, and install
LUNAR's own Windows display driver VGA.DRV in its place.  (LUNAR for
Windows only works in the standard Windows VGA 640x480x16 colour mode.)

*       Start Microsoft Windows in the usual manner.  i.e. type WIN and
        press <ENTER>.

*       From the Program Manager open the File menu by pressing <ALT> and <F>.

*       Select the option Run by pressing <R>.

*       When the the Run dialog box appears type A:\LUNARWIN and
        press <ENTER>.  (LUNAR will then start.)


Using LUNAR yourself:

Altering the Magnification

       1.  To increase the magnification:

              Click on the Magnify button.
              (or press <SHIFT> and <CTRL> and <Num Pad Plus>.)

       The magnification will increase to 2x.

       Successive clicks on the Magnify button will increase the magnification
       in steps of 2x, up to 8x magnification. (i.e. 2x, 4x, 6x and 8x
       magnifications.)
       
       2.  To decrease the magnification:

              Click on the Reduce button.
	      (or press <SHIFT> and <CTRL> and <Num Pad Minus>.)

       The magnification will decrease by 2x.

       Successive clicks on the Reduce button will decrease the magnification
       in steps of 2x, down to no magnification

       3.  Alternatively, you can switch directly to the magnification of your
           choice by pressing one of  the following hot keys:

	      <SHIFT> and <CTRL> and <Num Pad 1>          for normal size.
	      <SHIFT> and <CTRL> and <Num Pad 2>          for 2x magnification.
	      <SHIFT> and <CTRL> and <Num Pad 4>          for 4x magnification.
	      <SHIFT> and <CTRL> and <Num Pad 6>          for 6x magnification.
	      <SHIFT> and <CTRL> and <Num Pad 8>          for 8x magnification.


Overview mode

       The text and graphics that appear on a LUNAR screen are just an
       enlarged version of a section of the 'real' screen.

       This can be demonstrated as follows:

	     1.  Enter LUNAR's Overview facility, by pressing
                 <SHIFT> and <CTRL> and <Num Pad 0>.

       You will see the screen change to a normal display and a rectangle
       appear in reverse video on the screen.  This is called LUNAR's
       Overview facility because it gives you an overview of the 'real'
       screen.  The text that appears in the rectangle is what LUNAR magnifies, 

	     2.  Move the rectangle around by moving the mouse.

	     3.  Finally, leave LUNAR's Overview facility, by pressing any key 
		 or clicking any mouse button.


Line View mode

       Line View mode allows you to view the window currently under the mouse
       pointer as a single line moving across the centre of the LUNAR screen.
       This is a form of the popular 'scrolling' feature of our earlier
       software.

       1.  To enter Line View mode, press:

              <SHIFT>  and  <CTRL>  and  <Num Pad Period>

       2.  To start the text scrolling, press:

              <SPACE>

       3.  To leave it, press:

       	      <ESC>

       While in Line View mode:

       To start or stop a smooth 
       scroll of the window under 
       the mouse pointer across the 
       LUNAR screen, press:                  <SPACE>

       To increase the speed of the 
       scroll, press:                        <Up arrow>

       To decrease the speed of the 
       scroll, press:                        <Down arrow>

       To directly select the speed 
       of the scroll, press:                 <1>-<7> 
       (1=slowest, 7=fastest)

       To move to start of the 
       previous line, press:                 <Left arrow>

       To move to start of the next 
       line, press:                          <Right arrow>

       To move forward three 
       quarters of a screenful, 
       press:                                <ENTER>

       To increase magnification, 
       press:			             <PgUp>

       To decrease magnification, 
       press:				     <PgDn>

       To quit, press:                       <ESC>

       You may find it convenient to control Line View mode entirely from
       the numeric keypad using the above keys.  On the LUNAR display new
       lines are denoted by ||.

       On machines with an LCD display, the continuous scrolling in Line View
       mode will almost certainly appear as a blur on the screen.  This is
       due to time that is takes the crystals to change their orientation.

       So the best method of viewing text in Line View mode on an LCD display
       is to advance three quarters of a screenful at a time using the
       <ENTER> key, rather than using <SPACE> to continuously scroll the text.

       To change the way Line View mode works:

              1.  Click on the Line View button.

       This will bring up the Line View Settings dialog box, which lets 
       you to do the following:

	      *   Control whether or not new lines are shown
	      *   Set the minimum height in pixels of the text/graphics to be
                  Line Viewed.
	      *   Set the minimum height in pixel of the space between lines.

       You need only alter the last two parameters if when in Line View mode
       no lines, or more than one line of text is being scrolled at a time. 

       If Line View has no lines to scroll it will give a beep.  This can
       occur for one of the following reasons:

              The window under the mouse pointer is not on top.

              The mouse pointer is outside the boundary of the window.

              There isn't anything to read:  perhaps the window contains a
              bitmap image (picture) that is too large to fit on the LUNAR
              screen.


Pointer Colour

       This cycles the mouse pointer through a range of 9 colours.


Stay in Window

       If this is selected LUNAR places a restriction on the mouse pointer, so
       the display does not move away from the current window/dialog box.


Centring

       If this is selected, then objects such as menus and small dialog boxes
       will be centred on the display (if they will fit).


Screen to Mouse

       If Screen to Mouse is selected, the magnified display window will jump
       to the position of the mouse pointer.


Mouse to Screen

       If Mouse to Screen is selected, then if the mouse pointer is not visible,
       the pointer is repositioned in the centre of the display.


Mouse to current option

       If this is selected, then the mouse pointer will be moved automatically
       to the current focus, when you change the current focus from the
       keyboard.


Menu Margin

       This affects how much of the menu (how many options) are displayed
       above and below the currently selected option.


Follow Everything

       This enables LUNAR to follow most drawing operations.


Follow Cursors

       This follows any text entry cursor.


Follow Objects

       This will follow highlighted text, such as the text under icons, or
       the file selection highlight in File Manager.  In some programs you
       will not want this on, as it may clash with Follow Cursors.


Changing LUNAR's Hot Keys

       Clicking on the Set Hot Keys button brings up a dialog box in which
       you can change LUNAR's default hot keys.


Frames

       LUNAR has four scroll margins at the top, bottom, left and right hand
       side of the screen.  These four margins are collectively known as a
       frame.  LUNAR has two types of frame: A Mouse Frame and Cursor Frame.
       As soon as the mouse pointer or text entry cursor is moved into one a
       scroll margin LUNAR will attempt to scroll the screen in the
       appropriate direction.  You can change the width of each of the scroll
       margins by clicking on the Mouse Frame or the Cursor Frame buttons.


Horizontal & Vertical Move

       You can change the horizontal and vertical speed that LUNAR scrolls by
       when it enters a scroll margin.
