READ.ME for TTT Build 5.1
+-----------------------------+
| DOS Protected Mode |
+-----------------------------+
A bevvy of changes were made to the source code in build 5.1 to allow
TTT to build protected mode applications. All but one of the changes
should be transparent to you as a user.
The BASEOFSCREEN variable's type has been modified. You can no longer
use the expression:
if BaseOfScreen = $B800 then
Instead you should call the COLORSCREEN function as follows:
if ColorScreen then
+-----------------------------------------+
| IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE SOURCE DISK |
+-----------------------------------------+
The source files are now stored in a file called SOURCE.ARC. Copy the
file from the source disk to your fixed disk and extract the source files
with the command:
ARCX SOURCE.ARC
+-----------------------------------------+
| IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE DEMO FILES |
+-----------------------------------------+
Note: To reduce download times, only the DEMO source files fot Turbo Pascal 5.0
and beyond are distibuted in the BBS version of TTT. If you are still using
Turbo Pascal 4.0 and would like to obtain the DEMO4.ARC file, just give us a
call.
There are two sets of demo files with TTT. If you are using Turbo Pascal 4.0
extract the files from the file DEMO4.ARC. If you are using a later version
of Pascal, i.e. Pascal 5.0 through Borland Pascal 7, extract the files
from DEMO.ARC.
DO NOT EXTRACT BOTH DEMO ARC FILES. ONLY EXTRACT THE FILES APPROPRIATE FOR
YOUR COMPILER.
+---------------------------------------+
| PRINTING A COPY OF THE USERS MANUAL |
+---------------------------------------+
The documention is stored in compressed form in the file MANUAL.ARC.
If you have not registered the product you can use the ASCII documentation.
Copy the file from the documentation disk to your fixed disk and
extract the doc file with the command:
ARCX MANUAL.ARC
We have tried to provide you with everything necessary to evaluate the
Toolkit. On the disc we have included the file manual.doc that includes an
abridged version of the user guide. This abridged version of the manual is
approximately 100 pages long and includes the two introductory chapters,
together with a full and exhaustive procedure reference. The sections that
are missing are the individual unit descriptions. These chapters include
graphic/screen images that cannot be included in an ASCII file. If you
require any more information about the Toolkit, don't hesitate to call
TechnoJock Software at (713) 493 6354.
To print the manual, type PRINT MANUAL.DOC at the DOS prompt.
+-----------------------+
| ON LINE HELP |
+-----------------------+
TTT includes a comprehesive On-Line help system that is based on the
Norton Guides help engine.
The file TTT.NG is stored in the arc file TTTNG.ARC.
+-----------------------+
| ERRORS and OMMISIONS |
+-----------------------+

This procedure allows a user to control the initial state of the insert
key, e.g.

|___|___| MEMBER
Bob Ainsbury, the primary developer and janitor at TechnoJock Software, Inc.,
is a member of the Association of Shareware Professionals.
The Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP) has established standards
for its members and for any organization which has "ASP Approved" status. The
ASP wants to make sure that the shareware principle works for you. If you are
unable to resolve a problem with an ASP member or organization (other than
technical support), the ASP may be able to help. Please write to the ASP
Ombudsman, P.O. Box 5786, Bellevue, WA 98006, USA.
HERE'S HOW SHAREWARE WORKS:
You are encouraged to copy the TechnoJock's Turbo Toolkit diskettes and
share them freely with others. You have the luxury of trying out the
complete programs at your own pace and in the comfort of your own home
or workplace. This is not a crippled or "demo" copy, but the complete
working version of the program.
After you have used the Toolkit for a reasonable evaluation period, you should
either discontinue use of the program or purchase a licensed copy from
TechnoJock Software, Inc. Your support is important and greatly appreciated.
With it, Shareware authors are encouraged to design and distribute new
products. Without it, a great deal of high quality, low cost software
will cease to be available.
Why pay at all?
--------------------------------------------------------------
* You receive a CURRENT copy of the program
* You receive a top quality typeset manual
* Notification of updates and new versions
* Inexpensive upgrade offers
* Notification of new products
* Your input and ideas help shape future products
* A sense of pride and ownership in having honestly
participated in the Shareware revolution
* You help to keep software prices down by supporting a
distribution method which doesn't depend on expensive
advertising campaigns.
So please dive in and enjoy the fun of legally sharing good software with
your friends and associates. But also be aware of the following
restrictions, designed to protect the community of Shareware users and to
prevent greedy people from taking unfair advantage of the trust, hard
work and good will of Shareware authors. Exceptions to these conditions
must be received in writing from TechnoJock Software, Inc.
1. No price or consideration may be charged. However, a distribution cost may
be charged for the cost of the diskettes, shipping and handling, not to
exceed $10.
2. The files and programs on the disks may not be modified or deleted.
3. The programs cannot be sold as part of some other more inclusive package.
4. The programs cannot be "rented" or "leased" to others.
5. The end user must be told clearly in writing on the outside of the
package and in all advertising that the diskette(s) are "Shareware."
6. The package must contain a written explanation that the diskettes are
for evaluation purposes, and that an additional "registration fee" is
expected by the author, if the program is used beyond an initial
evaluation period.
7. In the case of distribution via any telecommunications link,
the following must be done:
* X-Modem or some other error checking protocol must be used
* All TTT programs (and documentation files) must be transferred
in a library or archive format. This means the files have all been
combined into one file.
8. Shareware distribution is permitted only in the United States, Canada,
England, and Australia.
