Show Partner
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Show Partner is a software package for creating slide shows on MS-DOS computers. It was published in the middle 1980s.
Show Partner is a bundle of four applications:
- GED
- A simple paint program that can create monochrome, CGA or EGA images and save them in a proprietary ".GX2" format.
- Capture
- A TSR program that can be invoked when another program is running, to save the current contents of the screen as a ".GX2" file.
- SED
- Used to write the "script" of the slide show, by specifying which images (or parts of images) should be shown at which times. The user can select from a variety of different visual effects and even add simple interaction, where the script branches to different places depending on which key is pressed.
- Show
- Used to view a complete slide show, consisting of the ".GX2" files containing the images and the ".SPS" file containing the script. This is the only part of the package that can be freely distributed.
