- Object Professional 1.0 is a library of over 2000 methods and procedures
- that are invaluable in easing the transition to object-oriented
- programming with Turbo Pascal 5.5 or 6.0. The professional quality objects
- are flexible, powerful and easy to use.
-
- A set of base objects is provided for general purpose data manipulation.
- These include
-
- o stacks
- o lists
- o bit sets
- o string sets
- o dictionaries
- o virtual arrays
- o object-oriented disk I/O
-
- An extremely powerful collection of objects is available for user interface
- design. The base object is the window, which provides flexible methods for
- headers, shadows, frames, zooming, moving, resizing, exploding, mouse hot
- spots, scroll bars, and virtual screens. Inheriting these capabilities from
- the window object are higher level objects for
-
- o pick lists
- o directory and pathname lists
- o pull-down, pop-up, and Lotus-style menu systems
- o context-sensitive, hypertextual help systems
- o text and binary file browsing
- o complete window-oriented text editing, including word wrap, find and
- replace, and block operations
-
- Another family of objects provides data entry and reporting capabilities.
- These include
-
- o simple line editing
- o validated, formatted entry of all data types
- o multi-line text fields
- o scrolling data entry screens
- o customizable printed reports
-
- Mouse support is integrated into all user-interface objects.
-
- Finally, Object Professional includes a number of non-object-oriented units
- for low-level system access. These include
-
- o easy and reliable ways to make programs memory resident
- o a swapping TSR manager to fit memory resident programs in only 6K of RAM
- o CRT control, with cursor manipulation, support for multi-tasking
- utilities like Desqview, and flexible fastwriting
- o interrupt service routine support
- o advanced DOS access, including a swapping Exec function
- o keyboard macros and macro editing
- o highly accurate BCD floating point arithmetic
- o extended and expanded memory access
- o comprehensive string manipulation, including ASCIIZ strings
- o sorting and searching
- o enhanced keyboard access
- o mouse control
-
- Object Professional also comes with useful and powerful demo programs,
- including a memory resident programmer's assistant (reference chart,
- calculator, file browser, text editor, phone book) that fits into only 6K
- of RAM. Object Professional is accompanied by 1600 pages of printed
- documentation, online reference guide, intelligent installation program,
- complete source code, a disk of bonus units, responsive technical support, and
- a royalty-free license for use in commercial applications.
-
- Object Professional costs $189, including both 5.25 and 3.5 inch diskettes.
- Upgrades from Turbo Professional, any version, are available for $100

- 6.0. Owners of Object Professional 1.0 may update to 1.1 for $20. Add $5
- for airmail shipping outside of the United States or Canada. Specify serial
- number.
