- TLOAD automatically keeps backup versions of the source files that
- you edit inside of Turbo Pascal. If you go through four saved edits
- and then wish you had the first version back, this is for you!
-
- TLOAD requires MSDOS or PCDOS Turbo version 3.0.
-
- TLOAD must be installed (cloned) for your system before it is
- used. To install it, type
-
- TLOAD /I <enter>
-
- TLOAD will prompt for the pathname where you keep TURBO.COM and
- will then prompt for the number of backups that you want to keep
- around. Enter any digit from 0 to 9. These numbers are IN ADDITION
- to the normal .BAK file created by Turbo.
-
- After you enter the number of versions, TLOAD will clone itself
- onto its .COM file (or onto a new version of it, it you called
- TLOAD in a remote directory).
-
- Then to run Turbo, call TLOAD instead. TLOAD uses the pathname
- you entered before, and starts up TURBO.COM. TLOAD takes over
- MSDOS interrupt $21 to intercept the calls to delete and rename
- files that Turbo uses when you save a source file.
-
- The backup files will be named program.BA1, program.BA2, etc.,
- in order of increasing age, and the .BAK file will be the most
- recent backup.
-
- If you use this all the time, you might want to rename TLOAD
- to TURBO, and rename TURBO to something else.
