\ SAMPLES.DOC Sample source file for TCOM by Tom Zimmer
TCOM includes several example source files to illustrate various
features available in TCOM, and to provide some utilities you might
find useful. Here then is a list of the included files and their
features:
ALLSPECS A utility file, that builds a list of all
on the disk given a starting directory.
Used by LOOK.
BANNER Displays messages on the screen in large
letters, illustrates table creation.
CARD A small card file program, uses BLOCK,
pulldown MENUS, and the DOS SHELL feature of
TCOM.
CLOCK A nice visual clock program, does extensive
cursor control.
FILTER A file filter program, illistrates how to do
use DOS's standard I/O to process a file, and
direct the processed file out to another
program of file. Also shows how to use
buffered I/O to speed performance.
LINES A simple graphics program, draws lines on the
screen.
LOOK A file scanner, searches files specified for
a particular character sequence. Shows how to
use LINEREAD, and perform various file
operations. Can search many files VERY FAST.
Needs ALLSPECS.SEQ to compile.
MIDNIGHT The towers of hanoi example from Peter
Midnight.
PASCAL An updated implimentation of the TINY pascal
compiler I (Tom Zimmer) wrote several years
ago. This version translates the example file
PASX.PAS into Forth source and displays the
results on the console. you can also use I/O
redirection to send output to a file. The
resulting output file can then be TCOMed into
a runable program. A very simple Pascal
translator.
PROMPTER An example of how to prompt the user for
information, and then pass that information
off to another program on the command line.
Uses the DOS shell capability of TCOM.
RS232IB An example that provides RS232 serial
buffered I/O routines to either TCOM or F-PC.
For TCOM, it turns into a very simple
terminal program.
SAMPLE The proverbial "Hello World" program, is an
example of how to use some of the commandline
options in TCOM, and how to make a very small
program.
SHELL A mini file shell, uses the popup file
selection box and shells out to DOS to
execute programs, or calls up the SZ editor
to browse and edit files. Also shows how to
minimize the memory usage of a program.
TIMEIT Uses the TIMEIT functions to make a program
that measures the execution time of a DOS
commandline following TIMEIT on its DOS
commandline.
ZZ ZZ is a sort of shell program that can tie
several disparit programs together into a
workable environment. Essentially it uses a
ZZ.CFG file to dictate what programs it works
with, and uses the SZ or Z editor as a
director that issues ZZ commands through a
ZZ.CMD file to call other programs like
compilers and debuggers with commandline
parameters. See ZZ.TXT for a bit more
information.
