Graphics Requirements


UNDBSYS Only

 

SUNIMAGE requires SUNDB86A, SUNDB86M, SUNDB86L, or PLBCMP (for PLBCON) version 8.0.5 or later. The image processing program is a separately loadable file called SUNIMAGE.EXE. Making it separately loadable gives the option of loading it or not, as it takes up a large amount of memory. If loaded, it must be loaded prior to SUNDBSYS or PLBCON.

 

The following command line is recommended for SUNDBSYS applications:

 

SUNIMAGE SUNDBSYS -E

Can unload both with single EXIT command.

 

The following command line is recommended for PLBCON applications:

 

SUNIMAGE -E

Can unload with EXIT command.

 

SUNIMAGE may be loaded by itself with or without the -E option. If the -E option is used, it may be unloaded later with the MS-DOS EXIT command. If the -E option is not used, the computer must be rebooted, an unload program executed, or the task exited if using Windows or DOSSHELL.

 

SUNIMAGE

Requires Reboot or task unload to remove.

 

Other command lines that may be used are as follows:

 

 

SUNIMAGE SUNDBSYS

Requires Reboot or task unload to remove.

SUNIMAGE SUNDBSYS PROG

Unloads everything when program exits.

SUNIMAGE PLBCON

Unloads everything when answer program exits.

SUNIMAGE PLBCON PROG

Unloads everything when program exits.

 

Please note that when in graphics mode, there is no cursor during a KEYIN. Also note that the *EDIT list controls does not redisplay the variable as it is being modified, and therefore should not be used while in graphics mode.

 

This addon was for SUNDBSYS only and is now obsolete.
