This software has been prepared to help in the presentation of training
courses in Turbo Pascal Object-oriented Programming and is now made
available as shareware. Please freely distribute to friends and colleagues.
If however you do use the programs to advantage, please send a donation
of £5 to one of the following charities:
Imperial Cancer Research Fund.
OXFAM.
Guide Dogs for the Blind.
Arthritis Research Council.
A letter, fully addressed to the selected charity, will be created
directly on your printer from the DOS prompt by typing A:REGISTER and
pressing the ENTER key. You will then be asked to provide your name,
organisation name and address and to select the charity. Please send a
copy to the author of the programs and any comments, both critical and
favourable, in order that improvements can be made to the presentation.
If requiring an acknowledgement or answers to qestions, please send a
stamped addressed envelope.
The author's name and address are: R Shaw

_________________________________________________________________
The hardware requirements are any IBM PC compatible machine from XT
upwards, with 640kb memory, a VGA colour monitor and DOS 3.3 onwards.
Most files are in the subdirectory \TP\OOPTUTOR and relate to the display
of Turbo Pascal Object-oriented Programming notes and example programs
using the object-oriented code of Turbo Vision.
The example programs can also be run from the Run examples submenu.
The screen display can be adjusted using the Windows submenu and mouse
and colour options can be set using the Options submenu.
The Notes are in files with the extension name .TXT, whilst the examples
are available as both source code (.PAS) and executable files (.EXE).
The main program that controls the display is OOPTUTOR.EXE and so the
command is just OOPTUTOR if the correct subdirectory has already been
selected.
There are 5 files in the root directory of this diskette.
The README. file is this one being read, by the batch file INTRO.BAT
There are two other batch files RUN.BAT and INST.BAT
The first allows operation directly from the diskette drive A: by typing
RUN and pressing the ENTER key.
The second transfers all the files in the A:\TP\OOPTUTOR subdirectory to
the hard disk drive C: in the subdirectory C:\TP\OOPTUTOR which is first
created by the batch file. The command is INST followed by the ENTER key.
The executable file REGISTER.EXE creates a letter to a selected charity.
The tutorial runs in Turbo Vision, which provides an environment similar
to the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) of Turbo Pascal. Readers
who are not familiar with the IDE should run the program TPTOUR.EXE which
is provided by Borland on the Turbo Pascal diskettes.
The initial screen display shows a Menu Bar at the top of the screen and
a Status Line at the bottom. The Status Line always provides essential
advice, typically that the function key F10 will access the Menu. Then
the arrow keys can be used to select the required menu item and the
sub-menu pulled down by pressing the ENTER key. The arrow keys can again
be used to select the required sub-menu option and that option activated
by pressing the ENTER key. The function key F1 always provides context
sensitive help, including any hot-key short cuts.
The hot-key combination Alt-X will immediately cause an exit to DOS.
