IMPORTANT NEWS Saturday 2007-06-23
Last week, Demon migrated Homepages web sites such as this
one to a new server. Copious log files are now generated
and counted within the storage quota. Consequently, it
has been necessary to remove, at least for a while, almost
every file from this directory. Individual files may be
restored, temporarily, on request.
To see which files are currently available, click the link
./ which starts this line.
2007-07-03 : ZIP files restored.
2007-07-18 : PAS SCR TXT and some others restored.
Note that unrestored EXEs, etc., will be in the ZIP files.
**********************************************************
My programs listed are copyright, and so must not be
republished. Users are granted permission to modify
them at need for their own use.
They are for PCs, 16- or 32- bit.
It's likely that Win64 will not support 16-bit code,
and will therefore run my Delphi programs but not my
Pascal programs.
EXE files will usually have the source, usually with
instructions in comment. Source is intended for DOS
CodePage 437, except where otherwise obvious; and is
usually Turbo Pascal V 5.0 or Borland Pascal V 7.01.
There may often be a line length limit of 255 chars.
If there is no *.TXT with a *.EXE, seek instructions
in comment in the *.PAS, *.DPR, etc.
When fetching an "upgrade", be certain to retain any
previous satisfactory version; it may be better.
I don't test these with NT+, just WfWg3.11 or Win98.
I am (1999-02-18ff) starting Delphi 3 on Windows 98.
Some of these Pascal programs compile with D3, using
"DCC32 -cc file"; all which were tested and compiled
to an EXE file also ran correctly. My EXEs here are
mostly BP7, though. Some of these need VERSION.PAS.
I now have Turbo Delphi 2006 on XP.
I began (2000-01-08ff) using TMT Pascal Demo. Some,
increasing with time, of these Pascal programs might
work with TMT. HUNT, LONGCALC, LEAPYEAR adapted and
partly-tested. My interest in TMT has now vanished.
I do not have FPC Pascal; its effects are uncertain.
I used Pascal on a slow PC, so those with "uses Crt"
invoked may fail RTE-200 on fast machines >= 200MHz,
if compiled with TP7 or BP7, unless / until patched.
SHOWER requires both Crt and v7, other .EXEs do not.
USESCHEK.PAS, JGB.PAS require both Crt and v7, + TV.
I frequently used Andreas Bauer's TPPATCH on an EXE;
but presently have Pedt Scragg's crt unit installed.
I usually remember to apply TDSTRIP.
It may be that, depending on our FTP settings, these
*.PAS files may need their line endings reconverting
to CRLF. PFE does this nicely, or public UNIX2DOS.
All with an EXE file should now have ZIPs, including
all files with the same name.
Files *.ZIP, *.EXE, and *.COM must be transferred as
Image; this should be automatic with a good browser.
None of these programs needs to be "installed"; just
copy to a suitable directory and run them. Likewise
no uninstallation is needed; just delete.
Where a Pascal program uses the 55ms clock, it *may*
not work correctly over midnight.
Some programs currently include the US DST rules for
1987+; they may be changed for new 2007+ rules. The
UK may change to GMT+1/2.
LFN : My Pascal programs rarely use Long File Names.
However, when compiled in Delphi (or TMT?), they do.
Batch files are written with DOS convention in mind.
Programs liable to be used by students with homework
are intentionally terse, to encourage thought.
Using my programs in Windows after Windows 98 - e.g.
ME, NT, 2000 or XP - should be generally OK.
64-bit Windows is not supported in my Pascal.
The compiler can generate general code, or code that
is specific for a 286 or higher. Some EXEs therefore
may not run on the oldest PC CPUs such as my PPC640.
If you get: "Stub error (2002): can't find rtm.exe",
it means I have inadvertently compiled for Protected
mode and you will need rtm.exe and dpmi16bi.ovl. ZIP
copies are listed below.
I do believe that these programs are virus-free; but
the responsibility of checking before you run any of
them remains yours.
Do not access these files with any regular automated
process, because that wastes too much of the limited
bandwidth.
For accessing with later browsers, a right click may
be preferable.
WARNING 2006-10-25+ I cannot currently run Delphi 3.
Some of these programs are for Windows 98 / EARLIER;
not NT or XP or Vista. They can only store directly
to the environment in Win98 (ME?) or earlier.
2008-01-12 : Delphi 3 loaded on another machine.
2008-02-10 : Delphi 2006 loaded on this machine.
Batch files, unless containing "OK XP", may not work
in NT/XP; using "command.com /c" may help.
For the main index to my Web site, which contains general
information on Pascal, Time, Y2k, and other subjects, see
../index.htm
Reach more information on programs for use with Batch via
../batfiles.htm
More information about Pascal programs may perhaps be via
../pascal.htm
Possible Run-time errors, as given by Help, are listed in
RUNERROR.TXT
For 32-bit EXEs of some programs, see via
32-bit/00index.htm .
This index may not be complete --- see the directory
./ programs/ itself.
../ZIPFILES/XALL.EXE will unzip the ZIP files (try XALL /?);
I believe, but can no longer verify, that it can be freely used.
DATEFILE.TXT is a probably-recent list of the files in the DOS
master copy of the Web directory. Use it to see what is new.
