- TVBEGIN
- Version 1.5
-
- TurboVision Begin (TVBEGIN) is a tool for creating a simple TurboVision
- program using TP Version 6.0. It can be used by the TP programmer to create
- his/her first TurboVision program. The program can also be useful for
- making the beginning skeleton program for a new TurboVision Program. I wrote
- the program because I did not like modifying old code. The program writes
- new code with the program name entered.
-
- You only have two menu options at the start of the program. The first
- menu option is for the About dialog and Exit. The Second is to Make the
- program. The make menu has two options. The first is for program
- information. The program's name (8 characters, the '.PAS
- extention will be added as the file name ) is the first info line needed.
- The program does not check if a file name exists so be sure to use a name
- that does not have the PAS extention. If you do not enter any information,
- the default names will be used and you will have to slightly modify the
- resulting code. Program Description is the next info line. This is just
- a short description about the program for the About dialog. The last
- info line is for the authors name and should not need an explanation.
- The second option in the Make menu is to begin making the program.
- That is all there is to it.
-
- The created program's new option brings up a dialog box. This dialog box
- allows you to enter a line of text. The entered text then appears on the
- first line of the window. Each line of text entered will always appear on
- the first line. I will leave it to you to scroll it down.
-
-
- Neil Rubenking's book, Turbo Pascal 6.0 Techniques and Utilities, broke
- my mental barrier for using TurboVision. The MakeMenu utility has also
- been of great help. My thanks go to him for his help.
