Help, I'm trying to compile programs in Turbo Pascal Version 3.0 without
entering the turbo environment. I would like to compile a program by just
typing a statement on the DOS command line. If you know how this works
please respond.
If there is no way to avoid entering the turbo environment, is there a way
to display the cursor on an EGA card.
Thanks in advance.
Perplexed in Pascal

It is really neat to watch turbo run all by itself. The program is called something like 'keyfake'. It is p/d and shouldn't be hard to get. The only other problem is that when keyfake puts stuff into the keyboard buffer, turbo intercepts it while compiling and gives you the 'continue (y/n)' message. Someone gave me a patch to stop this from happening. I don't have this information handy right now but if you put up a request for it you should be able to get it. Maybe you would consider switching to turbo 4.0 ? -- |o| Jonathan Joshua jjoshua@topaz.rutgers.edu Rutgers - Since 1766 |o| |o| |o| |o| Which way to A-La-Meda? |o| |o| I'm looking for the nuclear Waxes |o|

I would like to thank everyone who sent Mail on how to compile without entering the turbo environment. The suggestions were as follows: 1) Buy Turbo Pascal 4.0. (It has command line support.) 2) Use the key-fake program with the following batch file. (key-fake was originally published by PC magazine.) key-fake 'yw %1' 13 'ocqc' turbo 3) Use a program called Stackey which sound similar to key-fake. Thanks again for the great response. Dave Vasko
