Introduction to ACiD View
In the past, ACiD had promoted an ANSI viewer that was
neglected by its author. In response to this, we have taken
the necessary steps to write a new viewer that has a simple
interface and some new features. Like the prototype version,
there will be no extraneous interfaces or menus, and the
viewer will provide more ANSI viewing enjoyment than before.
As was before, there will be no need to make use of a third
party RIP viewer due to a built-in driver.
Features
Full File Description and Artist Initial Identification
Gooey Menu System
Variable Speed ANSI Viewing
Modem-Simulation for both ANSI and RIP Viewing
File Masking
Level 0-1 RIP Viewing
Fully-Features Scroll Back in several different video modes
ANSI Viewing in 80x25 or 80x50/80x43 text modes
ANSI Viewing in 320x200x256, or 640x480x16 graphics modes
Now supporting 320x200 WIDE!
Supports up to 2000 files in one directory
What ACiD View Displays
ACiD View will display ANSI screens in several different video
modes. These modes include the default, 80x25, and others
such as the 80x43/80x50 text modes, 320x200x256 MCGA modes,
as well as the sought after 640x480x16 high-resolution VGA
mode.
ACiD View displays most low level 0-1 RIP screens. Although
it will show all of the RIPs presented in the Acquisition, it
may not display some of the other RIPS you own. This is due
to the fact that some of the higher level RIP commands have
not yet been implemented.
ACiD View Functions
F1 Quick-Help : Brief description of function keys.
F2 Scroll Back : Toggles Scrolled viewing ON/OFF. Default is
OFF. While ON, you can scroll back ANSI in
80x25, 80x43/80x50, and 320x200 Modes.
F3 Toggle Speed : Emulates several different bps rates: 38,400,
19,200, 14,400, 12,000, 9600, 4800, 2400, and
1200 bps. Default is NO DELAY. If you want
to display an ansimation or RIP at an alternate
bps rate, you can customize the viewing speed
by pressing the + or - keys to increase or
decrease the speed respectively.
F4 Display Mode : Selects the video mode that the selected ANSI
is to be viewed in.
80x50 Display - If you have a VGA card, this will compress the
default 8x16 font into an 8x8 font and display
the screen. This feature is nice when you want
to display a big ANSI on one screen.
320x200 MCGA - ACiD View will display ANSIs in two seperate
types of MCGA modes: Normal and Wide.
640x480 VGA - VGA or better is required for this feature.
Display Mode Description Flags

640x480 640x480x16 VGA Graphics Mode A V
Flags:
A Ansimated Viewing Supported B Modem Simulation Supported
E EGA Required S Scroll Back Supported
V VGA Required
F5 File-Masking : Selects files within a specified file mask.
Acquisition Viewer 1.30
1 File Masking added, allowing the user to select files within the mask.
2 Added 320x200x256 ansimation mode.
3 Added modem simulator which emulates user-defined bps rate.
4 Minor bug corrected in the scroll back of large ANSIs.
5 Removed slow panning upon exit.
6 640x480x16 now FULLY supports ansimations. Small bug fixed.
Acquisition Viewer 1.20
1 Maximum number of files in one directory has been increased to
2,000.
2 A bug in the RIP portion of the viewer which caused the colors
of plotted objects to display improperly has been squashed.
3 RIP code has been optimized for speed, and it is now possible to
abort the screens.
4 Scrolled viewing has since been implemented, and 320x200x256 MCGA
display modes are now supported.
5 The old font has been replaced with a new character set, and a new
interface has been added which features icons.
