- Resources Required
-
- This program was developed on a Dell System 316 (386-SX) system having 5
- Mb RAM, 100 Mb Hard Drive, Super VGA Color. Also used was a Dell System
- 316SX with 2 Mb RAM and 80 Mb Hard Drive, VGA Color Plus.
-
- The program is intended to run on almost any system that is supported by
- Turbo Pascal Version 6.0 for development. It's even possible that it may
- work on a system having as little as 256Kb of RAM but no guarantees.
-
- Subject to the limitations below, the source codes are supplied without
- charge and without warranty. The source is highly sensitive to Turbo
- Pascal Version 6.0 and will NOT compile on earlier versions.

- Running TWU1
-
- To run the program, simply type TWU1 at the command-line prompt. You will
- be asked for the name of the unit. Reply with the name of the .TPU file
- but WITHOUT the .TPU extension. The unit must be in the current directory
- or in some directory on the current path, either as "name.TPU" or imbedded
- in a TURBO Pascal Library (TPL). You will then be asked if the unit is for
- MS-DOS or for WINDOWS. You will then be asked whether or not to
- disassemble the object code. If you reply "Y", you will be asked what CPU
- to support.
-
- Disassembly can be useful for code tuning. However, be aware that units
- supplied by Borland with TURBO Pascal for WINDOWS are BIG! Disassembly can
- bloat the size of the listing file for one of these units up to about 1.7Mb
- (from 1.2Mb).
-
- Vernon Buerg's LIST Utility is highly recommended for viewing the results
- without printing, or use the COPY command to print.

- The Author
-
- This work was done by William L. Peavy, Houston Texas as a private research
- endeavor.
-
- I am interested in feedback, suggestions, constructive criticism, and
- success stories. I can be reached via Compuserve (70042,2310), via the
- HAL-PC Telecom-1 BBS or via the HAL-PC Telecom-2 BBS. Especially welcome
- is feedback regarding new discoveries that you might make about .TPU files.
