Information about TSFAQP in General and Acknowledgments
=======================================================

TSFAQP is a collection  of  frequently  asked  common  Turbo  Pascal
questions and my answers to these questions. Most of these questions
have appeared on the  Usenet  comp.lang.pascal  (later  replaced  by
comp.lang.pascal.borland)  newsgroup.  Object  oriented programming,
protected mode programming, linked lists, Turbo Vision, Turbo Pascal
for Windows and Delphi are not covered. Most of the relevant testing
has been conducted first with TP 5.0 and later with TP 7.01.

You  are  free  to quote brief passages from my text in this package
provided  you clearly indicate the source with an acknowledgment. If
you do, the preferred pointer to me in such a connection  is  "Prof.
Timo Salmi of the University of Vaasa, Finland".

This  package may be used and distributed freely for NON-COMMERCIAL,
NON-INSTITUTIONAL, PRIVATE purposes, provided it is not  changed  in
any  way.  (Repacking  with  another  method is ok, though.) For ANY
other usage please contact the author. Please keep  this  collection
intact.  Do  not  distribute  any  part  of this package separately.

The author shall not be liable to the user for any direct,  indirect
or consequential loss arising from this collection howsoever caused.
No warranty is given that all  the  information  contained  in  this
package is correct, or that it is current.

As to questions.  If  you  wish  to  have  individual  Turbo  Pascal
consultation,  please  post  your  questions  to  a  suitable Usenet
newsgroup  like  news:comp.lang.pascal.borland.  It  is  much   more
efficient  than  asking me by email. I'd like to help, but I am very
pressed for time. I prefer to pick the questions I answer  from  the
Usenet  news.  Thus  I  can answer publicly at one go if I happen to
have an answer. Besides, newsgroups have a  number  of  readers  who
might  know a better or an alternative answer. Don't be discouraged,
though, if you get a reply like this from me. I am  always  glad  to
hear from fellow Turbo Pascal users.

If you consider asking me for my TP source codes please do not write
to me. Instead please see http://www.uwasa.fi/~ts/garbo.html#faqtimo

A lot of further, assorted FAQ material from Timo Salmi is available
at http://www.uwasa.fi/~ts/http/tsfaq.html

There is a further Frequently Asked Questions collection that is of
particular interest to tsfaqp*.zip readers. It is Stan Brown's
news:comp.os.msdos.programmer FAQ later taken up by Jeff Carlyle as
ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/doc-net/dosfv206.zip of whichever version
number is the current. Stan's / Jeff's FAQ uses C language in the
examples, but even if you do not know C (like I don't) there is
plenty of general programming lore in there. Another useful file is
ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/c-lang/c-lesson.zip "A complete course for
you to learn the C language". A plethora of Turbo Pascal lore can
also be found in SourceWare Archival Group's multi-part collections
ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/turbopas/swag*.zip. Also see the file
ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/pd2/tspost22.zip for Stefano Locati's draft
as a TP mouse FAQ item. Furthermore, for WWW information on Turbo
Pascal programming connect to my home page http://www.uwasa.fi/~ts/
and point to the collection of HTTP links in there.

Useful feedback and material is acknowledged at least from the
following users with my best thanks. My compliments also to the many
un-named net users who have directly or indirectly influenced the
contents of my FAQ with their questions, suggestions and further
answers, mainly on the news:comp.lang.pascal.borland Usenet
newsgroup over a span of over well a decade.
