SCREENS is a programmer's utility for text and graphics output. It allows you to designate an arbitrary rectangular area as an independent screen or window, and to output to or get input from that window without affecting the rest of the display. An earlier version of the program was released by APX as T: A Text Display Device.
Boot with Atari BASIC to use SCREENS. Info about the downloads: SCR86 is the product disc, identical to what was delivered to customers. SCR10 is a two-sided disk. According to Mr. Wrobel, "It includes everything that is in the product disc plus a bit more. For one thing, it is a double-sided disc with the full text of the SCREENS manual on the back side. It also has some text files describing my shareware policy. That policy is no longer in force."
