[comp.lang.pascal] TP4 & BINOBJ

chrisb@hubcap.clemson.edu (Chris Behrens) (12/29/90)

The problem : I have 2 pre-compiled executable files (EXE or COM, forgot
which) which I want to call from a third program. I can make it work 
with the "exec()" procedure, but then I end up with 3 executable files.
I want to consolidate the three programs into one independent executable
file which does not need the two sub-program files present to run for
security purposes.

I looked in the manual for BINOBJ, and was referred to the file
BINOBJ.DOC on one of the distribution diskettes.  I looked, and it is
not there. I have the BINOBJ utility, but not the DOC file to go with
it.  I have a legitimate purchased registered copy of TP, but no DOC
file.

After using BINOBJ on the executable, should I still be using the exec
procedure to execute the linked in OBJ file ??  what should the path be
to the file, the path to the OBJ file, or the path to the EXE file, or
none ???

If indeed the DOC file can be found, is this the correct route to be
pursuing for what I want ??  I understand that I will need the 
{$L filename} directive, but not sure how to use it with the BINOBJ.

Can someone send me the BINOBJ.DOC file for TP4 ?? 
Or point me in the right direction if this is wrong ??

Thank You Very Much.
