GETTING STARTED QUICKLY
This document is to help you to get started with Unity
Programmer's Editor as quickly as possible.
As released, Unity is preconfigured for Turbo Pascal 5.x, Turbo
Assembler 2.0, Turbo Debug, Turbo Profile, Touch, and Grep.
To install a new tool that is included in the automatic
configuration database follow these steps. If you are using a
compiler or assembler that is not included in the database then
skip down this document until you find the section marked
"INSTALLING NEW COMPILERS".
The automatic configuration database includes information about
the following tools (and may have more):
Turbo Pascal (5.x or 6.0)
Turbo Assembler
Turbo C++
Turbo Debugger
Turbo Profiler
Microsoft Masm
QuikByte Pascal & Linker
A86 & D86
Grep
Touch
Oberon-M
Realia Cobol
To install one of these tools perform the following steps:
1. Run UINST (make sure UNITY.ACG is in the current
subdirectory).
2. Select the tool number you wish to install the program as
(1-10).
3. Press F2 to list the database contents.
4. Use the cursor keys to highlight the tool you wish to
install and press RETURN to select it.
5. Continue from step 2 until you have installed all tools you
need.
6. Press ESC to exit tool installation and start keyboard
installation.
7. Use the cursor keys to select a command you wish to change
the keystroke for (most likely all of the tools you have
installed).
8. Press RETURN to edit the keystroke. If a key is already
installed use BACKSPACE to remove it.
9. Press the key(s) you wish to active the command.
10. Press RETURN to finish the key editing for that command, ESC
to cancel and restore the original values.
11. Repeat from step 7 for all commands you wish to edit.
12. Press ESC to end keyboard installation.
13. Press "U" to save the changes ("Q" to quit without saving
the changes).
14. If you wish a keyboard quick reference guide press "Y" to
the prompt or "N" if you do not wish one.
15. If UNITY.TXT is in the current directory and you have made any
changes the help file (UNITY.HLP) will be rebuilt to reflect
the changes. You may want to modify UNITY.TXT to include
information about the tools you have installed.
16. If you have an EGA, VGA, or Trident VGA video adapater
rename the appropriate video device driver (*.VID) to
UNITY.VID. This will allow video modes other than 80x25.

INSTALLING NEW COMPILERS
If you wish to use Unity with a compiler or assembler that is not
already included in the automatic installation database (see
above), you may need to do a little programming. Read the
document entitled FILTERS.TXT. This explains how to write an
error message filte program. Note that FERROR.EXE, which is
included with this package, already supports many different
compilers and assemblers, including virually all programs
produced by Microsoft.
I will be happy to assist you in your efforts to create custom
error filters, so long as you agree to send me a copy and allow
me to make it available to other users of Unity.
After creating an error filter read the document UINST.DOC and
procede with manual installation of your program.
The installation process for non-compiler type tools is much
simpilier as an error filter is not required. Simply read
UINST.DOC and procede with the simple setup procedure.
