- DOCUMENTATION
-
- INTRODUCTION
-
- TURBO TPU TOOLKIT! Kit #1 (TM) Version 1.00 is a TPU based toolkit
- of mathematical functions for the experienced Pascal programmer and
- the novice Pascal programmer alike. TURBO TPU TOOLKIT! has easy
- plug in functions such as inverse trigonometric functions,
- hyperbolic functions, factorials, permutations and much, much more!
-
- The TPUs are designed to provide accuracy to 19 significant
- figures, perfect for graduate students who need high level
- mathematical functions for your Pascal programs. You programmers
- write the code, display any output the way YOU want it, the TPUs of
- the TURBO TPU TOOLKIT! Kit #1 will just do the calculations.
- &
- INTRODUCTION - cont.
-
- The sample program KIT1DEMO.EXE provides an example of
- how easy it is to "plug in" a TPU for your programming needs.
- A manual for the tools featured in this release and for all other
- tools are available for registered users. More toolkits may be
- purchased separately. Site licenses available for commercial use
- and for LANs. Works with Turbo Pascal 5.5 or greater compilers.
- Have fun!!
- &
- PC REQUIREMENTS
-
- IBM compatible computer (those with DOS emulators may have a
- problem), MS-DOS 3.3 and up, math coproccessor. EGA color monitor
- or better (CGA cards and monochrome monitors may not display the
- program well). 512 K RAM minimum, 70 K of disk space.
- KIT1DEMO.EXE may be run on a floppy, harddrive or ramdrive.
- Mtool.DOC MUST RESIDE IN THE SAME DIRECTORY AS KIT1DEMO.EXE! If
- you use this program under Windows 3.x, the program will run in a
- window and will run full screen. The program works under QEMM 386
- and PCTools Ramboost.
- &
- INSTALLATION
-
- Turn on the computer to start your operating system. Place
- the floppy disk into the disk drive. Switch to the floppy
- drive by typing "A:" or "B:" at the prompt. Type "DIR" to
- view the contents of the disk. Type "INSTALL", press "ENTER" and
- follow the instructions. Once the installation is complete,
- switch to the drive you installed the program on and then switch
- to the Mtool subdirectory by typing "C:" (or whatever drive you
- installed the program), press "ENTER", then type "CD\Mtool" and
- press "ENTER". The TPU files may be moved to any directory you
- want. KIT1DEMO.EXE AND Mtool.DOC MUST BE IN THE SAME DIRECTORY

- Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
- before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue
- using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs
- differ on details -- some request registration while others
- require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With
- registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue
- using the software to an updated program with printed manual.
- &
- DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE - cont.
-
- Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software,
- and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
- exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished
- programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are
- of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs
- and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of
- distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy
- and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a
- specific group. For example, some authors require written
- permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their
- Shareware.
- &
- DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE - cont.
-
- Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You
- should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook,
- whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes
- fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.
- And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware
- has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
- product, you don't pay for it.

- TURBO TPU TOOLKIT! Kit #1 is a "shareware program" and is provided
- at no charge to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it
- with your friends, but please do not give it away altered or as
- part of another system. The essence of "user-supported" software
- is to provide personal computer users with quality software without
- high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to
- continue to develop new products. If you find this program
- useful and find that you are using TURBO TPU TOOLKIT! Kit #1 and
- continue to use TURBO TPU TOOLKIT! Kit #1 after a reasonable trial
- period, you must make a registration payment of $25.00 to LONE WOLF
- ENTERPRISES. The $25.00 registration fee will license one copy for
- use on any one computer at any one time. You must treat this
- software just like a book. An example is that this software may be
- used by any number of people and may be freely moved from one
- computer location to another, so long as there is no possibility of
- it being used at one location while it's being used at another.
- Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the
- same time.

- DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE - cont.
-
