1- Usage 2- Options 3- Notes
Z3INSTP is an auto-installer for Turbo-Pascal programs running on ZCPR3
systems. It installs video control sequences directly from ZCPR3 TCAPs into
other programs compiled by Turbo-Pascal.è
:1
Usage: Z3INSTP [du:]filename[.com]
...where filename is the name of a .COM file optionally prefixed with a DU:
specification. Note that the .COM extension is optional on the command line.
If a file of .COM type is not found, an error message will result.
Z3INSTP checks to see if the specified file was compiled under Turbo-Pascal
(version 2.0 or higher), aborting if it was not.
As an added measure of safety, Z3INSTP first renames the file to be
installed with the name filename.OLD, then creates a new file from scratch
upon which the new installed values are placed. If for some reason Z3INSTP
fails, simply rename filename.OLD back to filename.COM. If filename.OLD
already exists, you are queried before the old copy is deleted.

Options: H - turns off highlighting in the program being installed
R - reverses what is highlighted and what is not
A - installs the arrow keys
For option 'A' to work, the program documentation must specify that arrow
keys can be installed this way (as of now, the only program that can be
installed in this way is FATCAT.COM). If the program you are installing does
not support this convention, it does no harm.

Z3INSTP Notes:
a. Z3INSTP is a ZCPR3 utility and accesses the environment descriptor
automatically, instead of needing it to be specified on the command
line. Like most Z3 utilities, it comes with its own built-in help
screen. Z3INSTP also gives full control of user areas with Z3's DU:
specification, but not the DIR: form.
b. Version 2.0 adds command line options to:
- turn off highlighting
- REVERSE high and low video
- install the arrow keys directly into the program for any program
written to take advantage of this capability.
Z3INSTP Notes (continued):
c. Z3INSTP cannot make Turbo programs use the TCAP the same effortless way
ZCPR3 utilities do. That is, it can only install programs to specific
TCAPs. Programs must be reinstalled for each TCAP used. You can't
simply LDR a new TCAP and expect your program to work right.
d. Z3INSTP will not work on terminals with "non-fixed-length ASCII" cursor
addressing sequences. These are terminals which use the "%d" in their
cursor addressing. For example, the H19 terminal ANSI mode, whose ZCPR3
cursor addressing sequence is: 1BH,'[%d;%dH',0. s.
