What is Intercooler?
Boy, what an easy question. Car freeks know that intercooling makes
your turbo perform better. Well, that's exactly what this Intercooler does:
it makes your Turbo Pascal programming sessions perform better. Intercooler
is a memory resident program, like SideKick, which you kick up with the
"hot key", Alt-F9. You are then given the choice of perusing compiler options
or error messages. These you can scroll through at will. The result is no
more flipping through endless pages of Borland propaganda, CP/M nonsense, and
fragmentary indices in the Turbo Pascal Reference Manual every time you want
to look something up. You're working at a COMPUTER; there's no reason to have
to mess with a book.
In addition to complete summaries of compiler directives and error
messages, you get more info. Some pitfalls await you out there, and goodness
gracious me, Borland's manual doesn't tell you about all of them! So before
you lose your mind trying to get KeyPressed to admit that you're pounding on
the space bar, check the Intercooler's compiler directive section. You'll
be glad you did.
So go ahead and explore Intercooler. Just start it by typing "cooler" at
the DOS prompt before you enter turbo.com. When you're done, you'll probably
want to free up the RAM taken up by the Intercooler, so all you have to do is
choose "Terminate Resident Program" from the main cooler menu. But only do
this at the DOS prompt!
Hit it. This utility is too simple to need much docs; you'll be comfy
with it in about 15 seconds. Don't forget your donation!
Notes on version upgrades:
5 Sept. 87: Version 2.0 released. Memory allocation reduced, multi-page
windows get clearer instructions, address changed in docs.
