Boosters
George F. Smith & Company
$19-$35
#7055/1569
is a set of tools for Turbo Pascal programmers. Included is sixty-three
assembler-coded routines, screen generator, example programs, and complete
documentation. Boosters supports string, video, heap, DOS, and special-effects
routines in TEXT mode, for any IBM PC/PS or true compatible.
Qwik 7.1 [QWIK71] 08-93 CD
Eagle Performance Software
$25
#7055/1501
is a high performance screen writing utility for TP4 programmers.
Features include vertical writing routines, detection of the i486 and
Pentium CPU's, and more.
TechnoJock's Turbo Toolkit
TechnoJock Software ASP
$54
#7055/738 [2 disks]
is a collection of procedures and functions for Turbo Pascal programmers: a
collection of ultra-fast screen writing procedures, a collection of windowing
and screen saving procedures, a "very nice (better than Blaise) menu routine",
a collection of screen input routines, and a large assortment of miscellaneous
procedures and functions, including pull-down menus, mouse support, form
input, directory listings, string handling. Full source code is included.
Included in the documentation is a list of other shareware and commercial
programs which Bob has found to be useful for TP programming.
TechnoJock's Object Toolkit
TechnoJock Software ASP
$90
#7469/3182 [2 disks]
provides a comprehensive collection of objects for building sophisticated user
interfaces. It is designed specifically to be used by programmers who are new
to object-oriented programming. It provides the complete source code for 18
units, and includes over 70 example programs. Some of the main tools provided
include Screen and Window Management, Form Input, List Management, Menus,
Directory and File Selection, and much more. Turbo Pascal 5.5 or later is
required, and 640K and a hard disk are recommended.
BGI256
Knight Software
$50
#3851
is a 256-color BGI driver for Borland's Turbo Pascal and C languages. Source
code is included. A non-VESA BGI driver is also included for the Video7 card.
Box
Nescatunga Software
$20
#757
is a screen designer for Pascal programmers. Features include the ability to
save screens in a small "packed" format, a pop-up ASCII table, file directory
functions, and example programs which show how to create context-sensitive help
screens and moving bar menus.
The Paint and Fill functions allow you to create interesting character-based
backgrounds on the screen. GRAB is included with the program. When the hotkey
is pressed, GRAB captures the current screen image in a memory-format file
which can be loaded and edited.
BTV.PAS 1.15
Hansen, Richard
$20-$50
#4273
is an OOP interface for Btrieve with file and error handling and error display
objects. It has 40 full-featured BTRIEVE functions and a file recover utility.
Requires TP6.
Design6
Adkins, Jerry
$20
#3405
is a TP database program generator. It supports numeric, alpha, calculated and
other types of fields. Typical record access is 1/2 second. Up to 50 fields
are allowed per record. Field input has word processor type editing features,
with insert, delete, etc. A windows unit is provided, which can be
incorporated into other programs. The program takes advantage of the unit
structure of Turbo Pascal 6.0, and does not require toolbox support modules.
All programs generated are designed to be compiled with TP 6.0.
EGA Font
Williams, Aaron M.
$10
#1819
is a set of programs for the easy creation and editing of EGA fonts. Several
EGA/VGA fonts are included, as are several related video utilities. EGA Font
supports DOS 3.3 and allows you to keep fonts constant in memory with the new
TSR KEEPFONT.EXE. We could not get this program to work on our systems, but
all the TP source code comes with it, so we are making it available for TP
programmers who are interested in designing EGA Fonts.
GS_DBase
Griffin, Richard F.
$25
#3536
is a set of TP 5.5 routines that handle processing for dBase III files,
including memo, index, and data files. Dates are now handled as longint values
using their Julian Date. A windows interface has been added to facilitate use of
other window handling packages to replace GS_Wind. Additional string handling
functions have been added. A new StatusUpdate routine allows the programmer to
capture the progress of long-running routines such as Pack and IndexTo.
Inside Turbo Pascal 5.5 Units
William Peavy
$0
#2645
is a utility to let you unassemble Unit code, document programs, access
interface symbols for use in cross-referencers (etc), and more. Full source code
and complete documentation of Unit structure are included.
Keytree Toolbox
Rewse Consultants Ltd. ASP
30 UK Pounds
#4437
is a library of routines to create, maintain and access randomly stored files of
variable length records. Records can be displayed as soon as the first character
of the record is typed. Files can also be read and written serially. Any number
of files can be open. Each file can hold 10 indexes of multiple field keys.
Associated records can be linked together. Source code is included.
Maxx Data TurboMenu
Maxx Data Systems, Inc.
$25
#1886
is a set of menu routines for TP 4.0, 5.0 and 5.5 programmers. It allows you to
define and manipulate pull-down menus. It supports an auto-tracking feature,
mouse-tracking, and the data structure uses stack and heap memory. The menus
can be defined in a text or graphics mode in one or two dimensions.
MDCD
Davenport, Mike
$0
#1541
is assembler and TP5 source code for a file compression and decompression
program that uses a 13-bit LZW algorithm. It is not as fast as PKWARE, but
is significantly faster and compresses better than ARC.
Metric
#1060
provides the programmer with the estimated time needed to write and maintain
programs.
MiniGen
Snyder, Eric H.
$?
#1179
is a Turbo Pascal screen code generator that allows you to create data entry
screens, open and close windows with borders and cursor memory, perform
controlled data entry and create pull down menus. Then it generates the
necessary TP code to reproduce all this.
Mousetools & Soundtools
Anderson, Nels ASP
$10
#1820
Mousetools is a set of TP5 programming utilities providing most of the
necessary procedures to use a mouse in your own programs. Features include:
display the mouse cursor, read mouse and button positions, display various
prompts with "push buttons" and select filenames. Demos are included for both
CGA and EGA.
SoundTools ($0) is a set of functions for adding music and sound effects
to programs using either interrupts or real time code. SoundTools demonstrates
two ways to generate sounds using Turbo Pascal. The simpler method uses tables
to generate sound effects in real time. The other method replaces the clock
tick interrupt to handle sounds in the background. This is also a good
demonstration of Turbo Pascal interrupts in general. The units and demos have
enough documentation in them that you should be able to understand them if
you're familiar with Turbo Pascal.
MulKey
Boler, Mark R.
$25
#1720
is a collection of routines written in Turbo Pascal for compilation with Turbo
Pascal 5.xx. These routines are for use with Novell's Btrieve data file
management routines. MulKey simplifies Btrieve set-up and relieves you of
having to worry about file access and record locking in a network environment.
Requires Btrieve 4.10 or later. (The author is no longer at the address
provided in the documentation.)
New-Fonts
Pavia, Donald
$?
#721
contains procedures, functions and a utility for creating your own 8x8
graphics fonts for ASCII characters 128 through 255 to be used by your Turbo
Pascal program, according to the documentation. In testing New-fonts, it
appeared that you can also edit the lower ASCII characters.
