- The Pics system is distributed as a three file set:
-
- PICSxx.LBR or PICSxx.ARC The source code for PICS and its overlays,
- the system messages text file and various
- sample text files, and the source files for
- the setup program.
-
- PICSSUP.LBR or PICSSUP.ARC Source files for the available machine
- dependent routines and clock routines.
-
- PICSDOCS.LBR or PICSDOCS.ARC The documentation files.
-
- To be able to use the PICS system you must have a copy of Borland's Turbo
- Pascal version 2.0 or higher and the Borland Turbo Toolbox. If you have
- both versions of Turbo Pascal, use version 2.0, as PICS has no code that
- requires the extra routines of version 3.0 (and PICS will compile in less
- memory).
-
- It is very important that the Documentation files be read before you attempt
- to compile or run PICS. It is NOT obvious what you have to do, and in what
- order.
