Sat 5-Jan-91: I have upgraded my Turbo Pascal units collection at uwasa.fi archives by making several changes. Most importantly I have divided the package into three parallel packages: tspa2340.arc for Turbo Pascal 4.0 version tspa2350.arc for Turbo Pascal 5.0 version tspa2355.arc for Turbo Pascal 5.5 version Thus you'll only need the package concurring with the Turbo Pascal version you use yourself. With the exception of the differences inherent to the different releases of Turbo Pascal, the packages are the same. I am expecting Turbo Pascal 6.0, but it has not arrived yet. I have added a new unit TSERR.TPU which turn on the verbal run-time error messages. It is very easy to use. Just include uses TSERR; at the beginning of your main program and you'll have verbal run-time error messages besides the original, cryptic error codes. I have done some cleaning of the old units by omitting some of the older routines which have a more efficient later replacement. In particular this concerns the functions for converting values from one base to another. There are also new routines: PARSENFN Number of substrings in a string (resembles ParamCount) PARSERFN Get substrings from a string (resembles ParamStr) FATSFN Get number of file allocation tables, not XTs INTERLFN Get interleave coefficient of a harddisk, not XTs LASTDRFN Get last drive of the system, softcoded, not XTs and the generic power function POWERGFN has been rewritten. ...................................................................
