HighSpeed Pascal 1.01
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Welcome to HighSpeed Pascal101! The information contained in
this file is intended to supplement the manual. Please
take the time to read through it along with the Contents
file in order to obtain the latest details on your version
of HighSpeed Pascal.
Debugging
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Pascal source level debugging is only available when
compiling to disk at present. In order to use this
facility from within the editor you must select both
Compile to Disk on the Settings menu and Line Debug in the
Pascal Config requester. You must also ensure that program
and unit names in the source files match the filenames
(without .pas extensions).
Running compiled programs from Workbench
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Programs compiled with HighSpeed Pascal are suitable for
use from both command line and Workbench environments. From
a CLI or Shell, the current window is used for text input
and output (unless redirected with < or >) and command line
arguments are accessed with the DOS unit's ParamCount and
ParamStr functions.
When a program is run from Workbench by double-clicking its
icon, a console window is opened automatically and any
other selected icons are passed to the program as
arguments. ParamCount gives the number of icons whilst
ParamStr returns their full pathnames. You may use the
Icon unit to access icons and attached tooltypes as
required.
To test which way a program was run you may examine the
WBenchMsg pointer. If NIL, the program was run from a
command line, otherwise it points to a tWBStartup record as
defined in the Workbench unit.
2.0 Note
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Due to disk space restrictions, it was not possible to
supply all of the 2.0 preferences editors. After booting
from the 2.0 Program Disk, you may use the editors on your
regular Workbench 2 disk to modify and save the default
preferences.
If you have any comments, suggestions or problems with this
or any HiSoft product, please contact our technical support
department by phone between 2 and 3pm or in writing.
