1. HOW TO GET HELP
-------------------
If you have any problems, please read this file, HELPME!.DOC
and the Turbo Profiler User's Guide first. If you still have
questions and need assistance, help is available from the
following sources:
1. Type GO BOR on the CompuServe bulletin board system for
instant access to the Borland forums with their libraries of
technical information and answers to common questions.
If you are not a member of CompuServe, see the enclosed
special offer, and write for full details on how to receive
a free IntroPak containing a $15 credit toward your first
month's online charges.
2. Check with your local software dealer or users' group.
3. Write to us at the following address:
Borland International
Turbo Profiler Technical Support
1800 Green Hills Road
P.O. Box 660001
Scotts Valley, CA 95066-0001
Please remember to include your serial number or we will be
unable to process your letter.
4. If you have an urgent problem that cannot wait and you have
sent in the license agreement, you may call the Borland
Technical Support Department at (408) 438-5300 Monday through
Friday between the hours of 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. Pacific Time.
Please have the following information ready before calling:
a. Product name and serial number on your original
distribution disk. Please have your serial number ready
or we will be unable to process your call.
b. Product version number. The version number is displayed
when running Turbo Profiler and pressing the <Alt - space>
keys to bring up the System menu and choosing the
About... option.
c. Computer brand, model, and the brands and model numbers
of any additional hardware.
d. Operating system and version number. (The version number
can be determined by typing VER at the DOS prompt.)
e. Contents of your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files.
2. INSTALLATION
----------------
You should read the rest of this README file to get further
information about this release before you do the installation.
The Turbo Profiler/INSTALLATION disk contains a program called
INSTALL.EXE that will assist you with the installation of Turbo
Profiler 1.0.
To start the installation, change your current drive to the one
that has the install program on it and type INSTALL. You will be
given instructions in a box at the bottom of the screen for each
prompt. For example, if you are installing from drive A:,
you type
A: <Enter>
INSTALL <Enter>
If you have difficulty reading the text displayed by the INSTALL
program, use the /B command-line parameter to force it to use
black and white colors:
a:install /B - Forces INSTALL into BW80 mode
Specifying the /B parameter may be necessary if you are using an
LCD screen or a system that has a color graphics adapter and a
monochrome or composite monitor.
Notes for installation:
INSTALL copies all Turbo Profiler files onto your hard disk
and puts them into subdirectories. The default subdirectories
are
Turbo Profiler Directory: C:\TPROF
Examples Subdirectory: C:\TPROF
By default, all files from the distribution disks are placed in
the Turbo Profiler Directory. If you would rather separate the
examples programs into their own subdirectory, edit the default
example files path before selecting START INSTALLATION.
The Turbo Profiler distribution disks contain several files
with a .ZIP file extension: TPROF.ZIP, TFEXMPL.ZIP, etc. These
files contain one or more other files that have been compressed
and placed inside an archive. You can de-archive them yourself
by using the UNZIP.EXE utility. For example,
unzip /o tfexmpl
unpacks all the files stored in the TFEXMPL.ZIP archive into the
current directory.
INSTALL gives you a choice of copying the .ZIP files intact or
de-archiving and copying all the individual files onto your hard
disk during the installation process.
3. NOTES AND RESTRICTIONS
--------------------------
o You need to set the files directive in your CONFIG.SYS file to
at least FILES = 10, preferably FILES = 20. If you have trouble
doing the File|DOS Shell command or if TPROF can't find your
source modules, make sure the FILES directive is in your
CONFIG.SYS.
o A single Ctrl-Break inside a DOS function call waiting for
console input will not interrupt DOS and return control to Turbo
Profiler. You can either press Ctrl-Break once and then end the
console input function by pressing Enter, or press Ctrl-Break
twice. You will then interrupt DOS and Turbo Profiler will bring
up a Disassembly Viewer showing code inside DOS. You should use
only F9 at this point, possibly after setting an area marker
inside your program.
o If you are using TF386, make sure that you use the -e option if
you have loaded any TSRs or device drivers that are using
extended memory. The value to indicate after the -e is the total
amount (in Kbytes) of extended memory being used by other
applications before loading TF386. If you do not use this option,
TF386 may overwrite extended memory that is being used by the
other applications. For example, if a disk-caching program that
uses extended memory is loaded and you do not use the -e option,
the program may write incorrect information to your hard disk.
o If you are using TF386, and you are receiving a "not enough
memory to load symbol table" message, you need to enable
EMS emulation for TF386. To do this, use the -F option.
For instance, to set up EMS for TF386 at segment 0D000h,
invoke TF386 with "-FD000".
o If you are using an HP-Vectra, and you get an Unexpected Interrupt
06 when trying to run TF386, you need to set an option in the
CMOS setup. By default the Vectra series uses a protected mode
instruction as part of the HP-HIL. To work around this, contact
Hewlett Packard for instruction on disabling this function.
o If you get a "Processor already in protected mode" error message
when trying to load TF386, then you are using a program that
uses the virtual mode of the 80386 ( such as QEMM ). At this
time, it is not possible to use these programs and TF386 at the
same time. You should remove such memory managers, re-boot your
system and then run TF386.
4. ABOUT TURBO PROFILER 1.0
----------------------------
o Turbo Profiler has been designed to work with other Borland
language products as well as programs compiled by other vendors.
Please see the MANUAL.DOC file on the Turbo Debugger distribution
disks for more information about the TDMAP and TDCONVRT
utilities. These utilities allow you to compile your programs
with other languages and then convert them to Turbo Profiler
format. Turbo Profiler works with the following versions of
Borland languages:
TASM 1.0 (or later)
Turbo C 2.0
Turbo C++
Turbo Pascal 5.0 (or later)
o The file HELPME!.DOC on the distribution disks has more
information about using the new mouse capabilities of Turbo
Profiler 1.0.
o TFINST has the option to set a user-defined program interrupt
key that is not reflected in the user's manual.
