- TVTOOLS: TurboVision Tools library
- Copyright (C) 1993 Marc Stern (internet: stern@mble.philips.be)
-
- This package contains several libraries and their source code.
- Some functions are quite complex, some other are very trivial but
- may be useful just to centralize frequently called functions
- (and so allows to coherently propagate modifications).
-
- This library is dedicated to TurboVision but it contains a lot
- of general-purpose functions (string handling functions, low-level
- tricks of MS-DOS,...). If you are interesting in using it without
- TurboVision, it is available as a separate (smaller) package
- ACTLIB. This should be located in the C directory of the server
- where you downloaded TVTOOLS from.
-
- All these sources have been either developed or collected (and modified)
- by Marc Stern.
-
- I will not be responsible for any damage due to the use of these libraries.
- This code is provided as-is WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY.
-
- You can freely distribute them, modify them and use them for any purpose
- (even include it into commercial products).
-
- If you find any bugs or interesting modifications please report them to
- me; they will so be included in the next public releases.
-
- If you use these libraries, please tell it to me.
- I will so try to maintain and enhance them.
-
-
- How to use/compile the package:
- ------------------------------
- To use it, just put all include files and TVTOOLS.LIB in a directory,
- add in your code:
-
- #define Uses_Txxx // for TApplication, TWindow,...
- ... // but also TVTOOLS new objects
- #define Uses_Txxx // like TInputRegExp, TInputCalc,...
- #include "tvtools.h"
-
- and link the library with your program.
- This library is overlay compatible.
-
- To recompile TVTOOLS.LIB, you have to replace the modules
- into the library (not delete it) because my functions call
- some other functions from the 'general' libraries
- (STRINGS, TOOLS, DATE,...) included in ACTLIBxx.ZIP
- (also in this package).
- Othewise, you have to unzip ACTLIB, compile the sources
- you will find in it and add them to the library.

- Special thanks:
- ==============
-
- 1. To my company: S.A. Philips Industrial and Telecommunication Systems
- (some of the code was developed for business project).
-
- 2. To all people that written code that I modified or that I used
- to understand some processes.
- As I don't have their names anymore I thanks them all in one shot.

-
- Who am I?
- =========
-
- Just a few words about me...
-
- I finished my studies in 1989 (Civil Engineer in computering) and
- I am working since for a division of Philips - one of the greatest
- specialists in software security (local and transfer confidentiality,
- authentication, coherency, DES/RSA/DSS cyphering,...) and voice recognition.
-
- I worked about six months in Software Engineering (under UNIX and VMS),
- one year PC support (LAN organisation,...), one year in Quality Assurance
- (Beta-test,...) and I am now working in the security area.
-
- I also write the great XSET program that allows you to easily write
- efficient batch files. See file XSET.TXT to have more details.
