- ║ Sorry, folks, Borland really botched it this time! ║
- ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
- ║ THELP used to be pretty cool, have lots of features, and take ║
- ║ only 8k conventional memory if EMS were used. It is now 25.5k ║
- ║ no matter what, is a little clumsy and has fewer features. I'm ║
- ║ glad they have a TASM help file, but they screwed a lot up in ║
- ║ their latest package. Also, apparently their run-time libraries ║
- ║ have some bugs. ║
- ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
- ║ This .ZIP file contains a patch for THELP to allow you to load ║
- ║ two copies of THELP simultaneously, one with the TASM help file ║
- ║ and one with the TC++ help file. It also contains an assembly ║
- ║ source code module to replace the Borland findfirst() function, ║
- ║ which incorrectly sets _doserrno upon completion. It gets set ║
- ║ to 87 regardless of what error occured, or even IF an error ║
- ║ occured. The new routine is called FindFirst() and takes ║
- ║ exactly the same calling sequence as findfirst(). Read the ║
- ║ comments in the source code. Both source and object code for ║
- ║ four memory models are included. The TINY and HUGE memory ║
- ║ models are not included because the TINY model uses the same ║
- ║ code as the SMALL model, and the HUGE model uses the same code ║
- ║ as the LARGE model. ║
