number)
base converter, box character function, color codes function, keyboard codes
function, printer setup function, ruler, and a TSR engine. There are also
several screen functions included.

[QPRT_JF]
QPrint (Fontanesi, Jeff R.; $0) is a set of routines for quick screen
printing for Turbo C.

control the cursor.

[SEEKTST]
SeekTest (Ryle Design; $8) is a program written in Turbo C to very
accurately measure the seek time of a hard disk in "real world" terms by
using BIOS interrupt services and a very high resolution timing
methodology.

[TC2PAT]
TC2Pat is a set of patches to fix bugs in TLIB, __TURBOC__, TC's
overwriting of INT 60H, and the "floating point formats not linked"
problem.
