other types of fields. Typical record access is 1/2 second. Up to 50 fields
are allowed per record. Field input has word processor type editing features,
with insert, delete, etc. A windows unit is provided, which can be
incorporated into other programs. The program takes advantage of the unit
structure of Turbo Pascal 6.0, and does not require toolbox support modules.
All programs generated are designed to be compiled with TP 6.0.
EGA Font
Williams, Aaron M.
$10
#1819
is a set of programs for the easy creation and editing of EGA fonts. Several
EGA/VGA fonts are included, as are several related video utilities. EGA Font
supports DOS 3.3 and allows you to keep fonts constant in memory with the new

functions have been added. A new StatusUpdate routine allows the programmer to
capture the progress of long-running routines such as Pack and IndexTo.

provides the programmer with the estimated time needed to write and maintain
programs.
MiniGen
Snyder, Eric H.
$?
#1179
is a Turbo Pascal screen code generator that allows you to create data entry
screens, open and close windows with borders and cursor memory, perform
controlled data entry and create pull down menus. Then it generates the
necessary TP code to reproduce all this.
Mousetools & Soundtools
Anderson, Nels ASP
$10
#1820
Mousetools is a set of TP5 programming utilities providing most of the
necessary procedures to use a mouse in your own programs. Features include:
display the mouse cursor, read mouse and button positions, display various
prompts with "push buttons" and select filenames. Demos are included for both
CGA and EGA.
SoundTools ($0) is a set of functions for adding music and sound effects
to programs using either interrupts or real time code. SoundTools demonstrates
two ways to generate sounds using Turbo Pascal. The simpler method uses tables
to generate sound effects in real time. The other method replaces the clock
tick interrupt to handle sounds in the background. This is also a good
demonstration of Turbo Pascal interrupts in general. The units and demos have
enough documentation in them that you should be able to understand them if
you're familiar with Turbo Pascal.
MulKey
Boler, Mark R.
$25
#1720
is a collection of routines written in Turbo Pascal for compilation with Turbo
Pascal 5.xx. These routines are for use with Novell's Btrieve data file
management routines. MulKey simplifies Btrieve set-up and relieves you of
having to worry about file access and record locking in a network environment.
Requires Btrieve 4.10 or later. (The author is no longer at the address
provided in the documentation.)

T-Ref
Synergy Software Solutions
$25-$45

line-by-line print-out of the lexical levels and the block levels, the active
procedure or function of that line, and the line numbers along with the
listing.
The cross-reference utility will give a complete cross reference of all
identifiers declared within a program, or a partial listing (on requested
object types). The listing gives each identifier's name, its type, the code
line declared on, all lines referencing the names, and the scope (the
procedure or function name and level in which the identifier was declared
within). Output can go to the printer or a file. If you have monographics
video, you may need a color-to-B&W conversion utility, such as BW-ONLY on disk
