Turbo ScrEdit v.1.6
(C)opyright 1989, 1990 by iHn Systems
All rights are reserved.
==========================================================================
Welcome to Turbo ScrEdit. Turbo ScrEdit is a powerful screen development
system that can save you hours programming time with features like:
1. A screen editor that allows you to easily:
a - toggle the keyboard characters set between regular ASCII
characters and the extended graphics characters.
b - draw lines and boxes with just a few keystrokes.
c - select text color attributes for a single character
or for painting all or any part of the screen.
d - move or copy screen text by block or line.
e - undo changes.
f - define up to 128 data entry or display only fields on a
screen.
2. Change the order that the screen fields are addressed during
data entry.
3. Assign each field a different color to be used during data
entry, for displaying empty fields, and for displaying fields
containing data.
4. Specify the type of data that can be keyed into a field.
(any keyboard characters, alphabetical only, or numeric with
with from 0 to 6 decimal places.)
5. Generate source code for your language that is ready to be
compiled and run. The code generated is commented to aid you
in merging it into your code.
6. Access fields from the screen by name, just as you would
any other field in a record.
Other features include:
1. Automatic (yet optional) backup files.
2. Fully supports use of MsDos(tm) paths and directories.
3. The entire manual is implemented in the on-line help system; you
can view or print all or part of the manual whenever you need
it with just a few keystrokes.
4. Direct video memory access for lightning fast screen displays.
5. Programs using Turbo ScrEdit procedures will run on monochrome,
CGA, EGA, and VGA with out recompiling. Turbo ScrEdit procedures
detect the video type and automatically adjust to it.
6. Comes complete with a tutor and a demonstration screen file.

===========================================================================
** CONCLUDING THE INSTALLATION ** Continued from README.DOC
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have followed the instructions outlined in README.DOC, you will now
have Turbo ScrEdit installed for your system.
There are still a few things that must be done to make Turbo ScrEdit fully
usable on your system.
MODIFYING CONFIG.SYS:
You must include the following lines in the CONFIG.SYS file on the
root directory of your boot diskette or hard drive.
FILES=20
BUFFERS=20
If you do not have a CONFIG.SYS file on your boot diskette or hard
drive, you must create one.
*** WARNING *** Turbo ScrEdit will malfunction if this step is not
performed.
MODIFYING AUTOEXEC.BAT:
Turbo ScrEdit can be executed from anywhere on your system if you will
place the drive and path where it has been installed in the system PATH
statement.
A typical AUTOEXEC.BAT file might contain the lines:
HARD DISK: FLOPPY DISK:
PROMPT $P$G PROMPT $P$G
PATH C:;C:\Dos;C:\TurboC PATH A:\ B:\
You might change it to read:
HARD DISK: FLOPPY DISK:
PROMPT $P$G PROMPT $P$G
PATH C:;C:\Dos;C:\TurboC;C:\ScrEdit PATH A:\ B:\
^^^^^^^^^^^
And that concludes the installation of the SCREEN EDITOR. You are now ready
to begin using Turbo ScrEdit to create and edit screen libraries.
STARTING TURBO SCREDIT:
FLOPPY DISK USERS: After booting your system, insert the diskette
labeled "1 of 5 - Turbo ScrEdit" into drive B:
HARD DISK AND FLOPPY DISKS users:
Turbo ScrEdit can now be started by typing:
TSCREDIT (for Mono, CGA, EGA, VGA)
TSCREDIT /BW (for LCD or black and white systems)
Page 4
===========================================================================
*** PREPARING THE PROGRAMMING INTERFACES *** PASCAL PROGRAMMERS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Creating Turbo Scredit's Unit files:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
HARD DRIVE USERS: change directories to the "\INTERFAC" directory
created by INSTALL.BAT when it installed Turbo ScrEdit on your system.
In this directory you will find the file TPUBUILD.BAT.
FLOPPY DRIVE USERS: If you are using Turbo Pascal on a floppy disk
system, you will need to organize your diskettes as follows:
Step 1 - Boot you system from a boot diskette.
Step 2 - Make a diskette for drive A: that contains:
TPC.EXE (Turbo Pascal command line compiler)
TURBO.TPL (Turbo Pascal Object code library)
Also copy the following files form the diskette labeled
"4 of 5 Programmers Interface Modules" onto the diskette.
ScrEdit.Pas
Validate.Pas
ScrMouse.Pas
Windows.Pas (If installing the registered version.)
TpuBuild.Bat
Step 3 - For drive B: create a working diskette that contains only
the directory "B:\Units".
This Diskette will become your working diskette. All unused
disk space on this diskette will be for your screen files
and program files when you are writing programs.
HARD DRIVE and FLOPPY DRIVE users:
TPUBUILD.BAT is a BATCH file that will use the command line
compiler TPC.EXE to compile the Turbo ScrEdit interface source code
files ScrEdit.Pas, Validate.Pas, and ScrMouse.Pas, and create the
"unit" files ScrEdit.Tpu and ScrMouse.Tpu. (If you are installing
the registered version it will also create Windows.Tpu from the
source file Windows.Pas.)
There are three items you need to know before you can use TPUBUILD.BAT.
Item 1 - The compiler version that you are using (4.0, 5.0, 5.5)
Item 2 - HARD DRIVE INSTALLATION: The drive and directory where the
command line compiler (TPC.EXE) resides. (Normally C:\TP)
FLOPPY DRIVE INSTALLATION: The disk drive (A:) where you will
insert the diskette that contains the command line compiler.
Item 3 - The drive and directory where you wish to store the Turbo
ScrEdit "Unit" files when they are created.
HARD DRIVE USERS:
*** IMPORTANT *** The directory that you select to store the
Page 5
===========================================================================
*** PREPARING THE PROGRAMMING INTERFACES *** PASCAL PROGRAMMERS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"unit" files in MUST BE INCLUDED in the list of directories
specified in the OPTION/DIRECTORIES/UNIT DIRECTORIES menu line
of the Turbo Pascal editor/compiler. A good place to store
the Turbo ScrEdit ".TPU" files created here is in the same
directory with, or on the same diskette as, the Turbo Pascal
graphics unit "GRAPH.TPU".
FLOPPY DRIVE USERS: You will use "B:\Units"
Next you will use these three items of information to tell
TPUBUILD.BAT what it needs to know to build the Turbo ScrEdit interface
unit files for your system.
TPUBUILD.BAT command line format:
TPUBUILD OPTION PATH-1 PATH-2
------ ------ ------
OPTION: (Item 1) Selects the compiler version that you are using:
4 = Turbo Pascal 4.0
5 = Turbo Pascal 5.0, 5.5, and Quick Pascal 1.0
PATH-1: (Item 2) The drive and path where TPC.EXE is located on your
system.
PATH-2: (Item 3) The drive and path where the unit files SCREDIT.TPU
and SCRMOUSE.TPU are to be place when they are created.
(Registered version will also create WINDOWS.TPU).
*** IMPORTANT *** This directory should be included in the list
of directories specified in the OPTION/DIRECTORIES/UNIT search
chain.
Type in the following line substituting the parameters that fit on your
machine and compiler.
HARD DRIVE: TPUBUILD 5 C:\TP C:\TP\UNITS
FLOPPY DRIVE: TPUBUILD 5 A: B:\Units
When the batch job has completed successfully, you will be ready to
skip ahead to the next topic ** GETTING STARTED **.

===========================================================================
*** PREPARING THE PROGRAMMING INTERFACES *** "C" Programmers
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPECIAL NOTE TO C PROGRAMMERS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
When Turbo ScrEdit was written, all of the global variables and
procedure names were created using mixed character case:
Example:
S_OpenScreenFile() instead of s_openscreenfile()
S_ReadScreen() instead of s_readscreen()
S_CloseScreenFile() instead of s_closescreenfile()
We realize now that having mixed character case can be bothersome to
C programmers that are accustom to working with all lower case
statements.
To insure compatibility for programs written for previous versions of
Turbo ScrEdit, the source code included with this package still has
mixed character case in the variable and procedures names. However, we
have included a program in this package that will scan any file that
has an extension of ".C" or ".H" and convert all the variables and
procedures names referenced by programmers to all lower case.
The batch file CONVERT.BAT will convert all of Turbo ScrEdit's source
files. USE THIS BATCH FILE BEFORE YOU GENERATE THE LIBRARY FILES AS
DESCRIBED IN THE NEXT STEP. It will have to be executed once in the
"\Interfac" directory or on the "4 - 5 Program Interface Modules"
diskette, and once in the "\Demos" directory or on the "5 - 5 Examples
and Demos" diskette.
If you have programs that you have written for a previous version of
Turbo ScrEdit, you can convert existing programs by using CHGCASE.EXE.
Format:
CHGCASE program.C (Converts program source code files)
CHGCASE header.H (Converts header files)
The current program is saved as "program.C$" and the converted program
is stored in a file with the original file name.
Creating Turbo ScrEdit's C Libraries:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
HARD DRIVE USERS: Locate the files TCC.EXE (the Turbo C command line
compiler) and TLIB.EXE (the Turbo Librarian) and make a note of the
directory where they reside. If you used the standard installation
program that came with your Turbo Language package you will find
them in the directory "C:\TC".
You will also need to know the path to the directories where Turbo
C's standard libraries and include files are stored. If you used the
standard Turbo C installation's default directories they will also
be located on the "C:\TC" directory as "C:\TC\LIB" and
"C:\TC\INCLUDE". So, "C:\Tc" will be the directory you must know.
Change directories to the "\INTERFAC" directory that was created by
INSTALL.BAT when it installed Turbo ScrEdit on your system. In this
directory you will find the file LIBBUILD.BAT.
Page 7
===========================================================================
*** PREPARING THE PROGRAMMING INTERFACES *** "C" Programmers
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
FLOPPY DRIVE USERS: If you are using Turbo C on a floppy disk system,
you will need to organize your diskettes as follows:
Step 1 - Boot you system from a boot diskette.
Step 2 - Make a diskette for drive A: that contains the following
files:
TCC.EXE (Turbo C command line compiler)
TLIB.EXE (Turbo C librarian)
Also copy the following files form the diskette labeled
"4 of 5 Programmers Interface Modules" onto the diskette.
#defines.C
ScrEdit.C
Validate.C
ScrMouse.C
Windows.C (If installing the registered version.)
LibBuild.Bat
Step 3 - For drive B: locate you Turbo C compiler diskette that has
the "\LIB" and "\INCLUDE" directories for the MEMORY MODEL
that you wish to install Turbo ScrEdit for. (LARGE is
recommended.)
HARD DRIVE and FLOPPY DRIVE users:
We will now use the LIBBUILD.BAT file to compile the Turbo ScrEdit
interface object code library files from the source code files
ScrEdit.C, Validate.C, and ScrMouse.C.
LIBBUILD.BAT parameter format:
LIBBUILD OPTION PATH-1 PATH-2 PATH-3
------ ------ ------ ------
OPTION: Selects the memory model to be used for the object code library
that will be created.
M = MEDIUM
C = COMPACT
L = LARGE
H = HUGE
ALL = creates all four memory models.
PATH-1: The drive and path where TCC.EXE and TLIB.EXE are located
on your system.
On a Hard drive system this might be "C:\Tc".
On a Floppy drive system this should be "A:"
PATH-2: The drive and path where Turbo C's object code libraries and
header files are stored.
Page 8
===========================================================================
*** PREPARING THE PROGRAMMING INTERFACES *** "C" Programmers
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On a Hard drive system these directories might be "C:\Tc\Lib"
and "C:\Tc\Include". So your response here would be "C:\Tc".
On a Floppy drive system this should be "B:"
PATH-3: The drive and path where the library files ScrEditX.Lib will be
stored when they are created. Registered version will also
create WindowsX.LIB. ("X" is replaced by M,C,L,H to signify the
memory model of the library.)
The recommended directory is in the "\LIB" directory with the
other Turbo C standard library files. But, you may specify any
other directory that you wish. The important thing is that the
directory that you select is included in the list of
directories specified in the "OPTION/DIRECTORIES/LIBRARY
DIRECTORIES" menus window.
On a Hard drive system the recommend response is "C:\Tc\Lib".
On a Floppy drive system this should be "B:\Lib"
Now, type in the following line substituting the parameters that fit on
your machine and compiler.
Example (Hard drive): LIBBUILD ALL C:\Tc C:\Tc C:\Tc\Lib
(Floppy Dr.): LIBBUILD L A: B: B:\LIB
COPY THE HEADER FILES TO YOU "INCLUDE" DIRECTORY:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Turbo ScrEdit's programming interface "header" files must be copied
into:
HARD DRIVE: One of the directories listed in the search chain for your
programming environments OPTION/DIRECTORIES/INCLUDE FILES
menu option. Example:
Copy C:\ScrEdit\Interfac\*.H C:\Tc\Include
FLOPPY DRIVE: Insert diskette "4 of 5 Program Interface Modules" into
your A: drive and type:
Copy A:*.H B:\Lib
The header files that will be copied are:
ScrEdit.H
Windows.H (Registered version only).
YOU ARE FINISHED - installing Turbo ScrEdit, skip ahead to the next topic

You are now ready to begin using Turbo ScrEdit. If you are like most people
your time is valuable and you want to get going and become productive. You
may begin using Turbo ScrEdit NOW. Everything is in place. However, because
of the scope of Turbo ScrEdit, I would encourage you to take a little time
and go through the tutors and examples that have been supplied.
IN A HURRY - If you do not want to take time to go though the tutors and
examples, PLEASE do at least the following just to make sure
that every thing has been installed correctly.
1 - Locate Part III of the tutor in the "\INTERFAC" directory
or on the "4 of 5 - Program Interfac Modules" diskette.
Work through the section on "SMALLEST" and make sure that
you can successfully compile and run this example program.
2 - When you have successfully compiled and ran "SMALLEST",
compile and run "ScrDemo", and "TestMous". IF YOU CAN NOT
GET THESE PROGRAMS TO COMPILE AND RUN, YOU WILL NOT BE
ABLE TO GET ANY PROGRAMS THAT YOU WRITE THAT USE TURBO
SCREDIT TO COMPILE AND RUN.
Suggested Steps to learning how to use Turbo ScrEdit:
Step 1 - (4 hours) Turbo ScrEdit tutor PARTS I and II have been stored in
the directory "\Tutor" or diskette "2 of 5 - Turbo ScrEdit Tutor".
Part I of the tutor will teach you how to create, edit, and test
screens.
Part II of the tutor will teach you how to use field processing
statements, edit masks, help messages, set initial values, and much
more.
Step 2 - (3 hours) Turbo ScrEdit tutor PART III. This section of the tutor
introduces you to programming with Turbo ScrEdit. It steps you
several several examples that will touch on using every feature
and function of Turbo ScrEdit. These examples will provide you
with a host of examples that you can copy and use in your own
programs.

A note to the unregistered user of Turbo ScrEdit:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If your version of Turbo ScrEdit has a blinking message on the logo
screen, then you have in your possession an evaluation version. The
evaluation version of Turbo ScrEdit is the complete system, nothing
has been omitted. The blinking message is intended to remind you
that you are using a evaluation version, and have not registered. The
registered version of Turbo ScrEdit will display your name and address
in place of the message on the logo screen.
The "POP UP WINDOW PROCEDURES" demonstrated in DEMOWIND.EXE
are included FREE with the registered package.
This introduction version is intended to introduce you to Turbo
ScrEdit and to allow you to get some 'hands on' experience before you
have to make an investment. I am confident that you will find Turbo
ScrEdit is a handy tool for program development and that it is fun to
use.
I have chosen the "SHAREWARE" method to distribute Turbo ScrEdit for
several reasons:
- First, I like the "try before you buy" approach of shareware. I
have software setting on my shelf that I would not have bought if I
could have had a hour or two alone with it.
- Second, I like the honor system approach. It's really quite simple;
if you are going to use this program you should register, if you
are not all that thrilled with the program then delete it, or pass
it on.
- Third, I want to keep the price for Turbo ScrEdit reasonable.
