Turbo Pascal 5.5 BONUS Disk
                      ---------------------------

The files on this disk are non-commercial units and utilities developed
for Turbo Pascal 5.5 by a variety of authors, including us at TurboPower
Software. Many of the utilities build upon Object Professional units;
others stand by themselves. Almost all have complete source code, so you
can use them, modify them, or just study them for ideas.

TurboPower Software provides this BONUS disk as a free service to our
customers.

TurboPower Software offers no warranty, express or implied, for the
programs on the BONUS disk. You may use a BONUS unit bearing the
TurboPower copyright within any application that you write, without
restriction. Other programs on the BONUS disk have either been released
to the public domain by their authors, or are distributed here by their
express permission. You may give copies of the files on the BONUS disk
to anyone.

If you have a unit or utility for Turbo Pascal 5.5 that you think would
be an appropriate addition to the BONUS disk, please let us know.

Each unit/program has been compressed into an LZH file with its
supporting files in order to save disk space. To extract the individual
files, use the supplied LHARC.EXE program. From the DOS prompt, enter

  LHARC x ArchiveName

For example, LHARC x OPDIALOG.LZH would extract all of the files from the
OPDIALOG archive.

The section that follows gives a brief description of each of the files on the
BONUS disk. Please note that, due to lack of disk space, some of the files
mentioned here have been placed on the SRC4 disk rather than the BONUS disk.

ENTRYL
  Demonstrates how to store an EntryScreen designed with MAKESCRN in a
  library and reload it.

FBROWSE
  A unit that implements a CommandWindow-based file browser for use with

  An alphabetical index to all procedures, functions, and methods in Object
  Professional.

OPTIMER
  A unit to take timings with microsecond resolution.

OPXMS

POPDOS
  A swappable TSR that shells to DOS from within any application.

PWF2TXT
  Converts PWF files (such as those created by PSCREEN) into text files.
