- GETTING STARTED QUICKLY
-
- This document is to help you to get started with Unity
- Programmer's Editor as quickly as possible.
-
- As released, Unity is preconfigured for Turbo Pascal 5.x, Turbo
- Assembler 2.0, Turbo Debug, Turbo Profile, Touch, and Grep.
-
- To install a new tool that is included in the automatic
- configuration database follow these steps. If you are using a
- compiler or assembler that is not included in the database then
- skip down this document until you find the section marked
- "INSTALLING NEW COMPILERS".
-
- The automatic configuration database includes information about
- the following tools (and may have more):
-
- Turbo Pascal (5.x or 6.0)
- Turbo Assembler
- Turbo C++
- Turbo Debugger
- Turbo Profiler
- Microsoft Masm
- QuikByte Pascal & Linker
- A86 & D86
- Grep
- Touch
- Oberon-M
- Realia Cobol
-
-
- To install one of these tools perform the following steps:
-
- 1. Run UINST (make sure UNITY.ACG is in the current
- subdirectory).
- 2. Select the tool number you wish to install the program as
- (1-10).
- 3. Press F2 to list the database contents.
- 4. Use the cursor keys to highlight the tool you wish to
- install and press RETURN to select it.
- 5. Continue from step 2 until you have installed all tools you
- need.
- 6. Press ESC to exit tool installation and start keyboard
- installation.
- 7. Use the cursor keys to select a command you wish to change
- the keystroke for (most likely all of the tools you have
- installed).
- 8. Press RETURN to edit the keystroke. If a key is already
- installed use BACKSPACE to remove it.
- 9. Press the key(s) you wish to active the command.
- 10. Press RETURN to finish the key editing for that command, ESC
- to cancel and restore the original values.
- 11. Repeat from step 7 for all commands you wish to edit.
- 12. Press ESC to end keyboard installation.
- 13. Press "U" to save the changes ("Q" to quit without saving
- the changes).
- 14. If you wish a keyboard quick reference guide press "Y" to
- the prompt or "N" if you do not wish one.
- 15. If UNITY.TXT is in the current directory and you have made any
- changes the help file (UNITY.HLP) will be rebuilt to reflect
- the changes. You may want to modify UNITY.TXT to include
- information about the tools you have installed.
- 16. If you have an EGA, VGA, or Trident VGA video adapater
- rename the appropriate video device driver (*.VID) to
- UNITY.VID. This will allow video modes other than 80x25.

- INSTALLING NEW COMPILERS
-
- If you wish to use Unity with a compiler or assembler that is not
- already included in the automatic installation database (see
- above), you may need to do a little programming. Read the
- document entitled FILTERS.TXT. This explains how to write an
- error message filte program. Note that FERROR.EXE, which is
- included with this package, already supports many different
- compilers and assemblers, including virually all programs
- produced by Microsoft.
-
- I will be happy to assist you in your efforts to create custom
- error filters, so long as you agree to send me a copy and allow
- me to make it available to other users of Unity.
-
- After creating an error filter read the document UINST.DOC and
- procede with manual installation of your program.
-
- The installation process for non-compiler type tools is much
- simpilier as an error filter is not required. Simply read
- UINST.DOC and procede with the simple setup procedure.
