INTRODUCTION
============
This archive file contains the source for some routines to
interface several popular multitaskers to Turbo Pascal v4.0.
Currently, interfaces are provided for:
IBM's TopView (and MicroSoft Windows by emulation of TopView)
Quarterdeck's DesqView
Sunny Hill Software's TaskView and OmniView
SoftLogic's DoubleDos
I welcome any modifications anyone may wish to make to support other
multitaskers. PLEASE upload your revised versions so that we can
all benefit from them!
FILES
=====
The files which should be present in the archive are:
AAREADME.1ST --- this file you're reading now
GETSCREN.PAS --- gets screen memory address
GLOBSCRN.PAS --- global screen declarations
MAKETRYM.BAT --- builds sample test program "TRYMDOS.PAS"
PIBMDOS.PAS --- actual multitasker interface code
PIBMTASK.PAS --- unit declaration for multitasker interface code
READKBD.PAS --- routine for keyboard reads
TRYMDOS.PAS --- main demonstration program
TRYMDOS.GLO --- global definitions
WRITESXY.PAS --- routine to write string to screen memory
YESNO.PAS --- routine for yes/no questions
This represents v1.2 of the demo programs. If you make any changes,
please update this README.DOC file and up the version number.
The actual interface routines are in PIBMTASK.PAS, and you should
read the comments there (as well as in the sample main program TRYMDOS.PAS)
to see how to use these routines.
ADDRESSES FOR ELECTRONIC LETTER BOMBS
=====================================
You may leave me messages on the following BBSs:
Gene Plantz's BBS (312) 882 4145
Northwestern Univerity OPUS BBS (312) 491 3892
Gene's BBS is registration only ($25 a year) and well worth it.
The Northwestern University BBS is run by my colleague Roger Safian.
You can use the OPUS/FIDONET remote mail/networking facility to send me
messages from another OPUS local to your dialing area. The net address
of Roger's OPUS BBS system is 115/419.
For both BBS systems, my user name is PHILIP BURNS.
CompuServe users can reach me at:
72437,62
University users can reach me at:
PIB@NUACC.BITNET (BITNET)
PIB@NUACC.ACNS.NWU.EDU (ARPANET)
PLEASE, no voice calls! I WILL NOT RETURN any long distance phone
calls about PibMDos. I can't afford to.
