- OOPWin.PAS - An Object Oriented Test Project
-
- This Unit and the associated program were written as a project to be
- included in one of my shareware programs (Colorado Utilities Disk Manager).
- I have wanted to share some of the code used in building that product with
- those who contributed to its creation.
-
- OOPWin.PAS builds an array of expanded wildcards using an input window
- and then allows comparisons against that array. While it may seem to be
- a useless project I can assure you I have found that I learn a lot more
- writing code than reading about it and this was a project to learn OOP and
- the new release (5.5) of Turbo Parcal.
-
- The entire project requires Turbo Professional from Turbo Power, which I
- believe every serious Turbo Pascal software developer should own. If you
- don't use the library at least you can study some of the best library code
- written yet for pascal.
-
- Executing OOPWin ---- The program will display a blank window. When you hit
- enter you can modify the entry you are currently on. Entering 'T??T.*' will
- result in a wildcard expansion of 'T??T.???'. '*.PAS' would result in
- '????????.PAS'. When you are through with the array window, hit the Esc key.
- You may then enter file names to compare against the array. When finished
- just hit the Esc key and you will be returned to DOS.
-
- Have fun with OOP (I am) and I hope you enjoy the Object.
-
- This unit was patterned after the examples in the Borland OOP guide and
- full credit for what knowledge I've gained goes to the author and to
- Borland International. I'll probably never write another program without
- object orientation again.
