I have a copy of vbrowse.exe from TurboPower Software ver. 4.04 It is perfect for my purpose, except for the fact that line length is limited to 128 characters. I need at least 132 characters. This program allows you to examine a file, scrolling vertically AND horizontally AND to print selected blocks of lines to the printer. Can anyone tell me how to get in touch with TurboPower Software, or point me to another file browser that can fill the bill? By the way, I imagine this software was pirated at some time, but was here when I got the job. I am willing to purchase a tool that will do the job.

I don't have the address or number for Turbo Power Software handy here (It's at home, I'm not). But I can recommend buying the product through "The Programmer's Connection". I have had good experiences with them. They'll charge a bit less than if you buy direct from Turbo Power Software, who will sell direct but at list price. Call The Programmer's Connection at (800) 336-1166. They take phone orders. Or write them at Programmer's Connection Order Processing Dept. 7249 Whipple Ave NW North Canton, Oh 44720 The product you want is "Turbo Professional 5.0", which they sell for $99 (list is $125). It does require a Pascal Compiler. Preferably Borland Turbo Pascal 4.0 or greater, though the blurbs claim it also works with MicroSoft Quick Pascal. Just about any of the other programming software distributors will also have the product. The Programmer's Connection just happens to be my favorite. > By the way, I imagine this software was pirated at some time, but was > here when I got the job.

Turbo Power Software sells reasonably good stuff at reasonable prices. Their stuff all includes source code, no funny copy protection, and they give good support. Please don't discourage "good guys" by ripping them off. There are plenty of software vendors out there that seem to have an attitude that the customer is an adversary whose sole role is to supply money and that actually supplying the customer with a useful product for said money is a side issue that they would be much happier ignoring. > point me to another file browser that can fill the bill? By the way, another browser that I like is Vernon Buerg's List. I'm not sure if it's been posted on the net or not, though I've seen it on lots of bulletin boards. It is shareware; I think he asks about $15 or so for it. No source code available, if I recall correctly. -- Richard Maine maine@elxsi.dfrf.nasa.gov [130.134.1.1]
