I am planning to use Daniel Evans' Turbo C window package (available on the GRAPE.ECS.CLARKSON.EDU FTP BBS as TURBOC/TCWIND16.ARC) for a data entry/manipulation application. The documentation for the TCWIND16 package states that it uses a fast video write routine, supplied as MCMVSMEM.OBJ in the Turbo C distri- bution -- and that MCMVSMEM.OBJ must be linked into one's program in order to use TCWIND16. According to page 12 of the Turbo C User's Guide, both MCMVSMEM.C and MCMVSMEM.OBJ are included in the Turbo C distribution. However, these routines are *not* on any of the disks in my Turbo C (Version 1.5). I assume that these files existed in Version 1.0, but were deleted for Version 1.5 in conjunction with changes to the MicroCalc program that used them. If anyone out there has MCMVSMEM.C and/or MCMVSMEM.OBJ (presumably because you originally bought Version 1.0 of Turbo C and later upgraded to 1.5), could you please e-mail them to me? Since I am a registered user of Turbo C, I assume I have a right to use these files and that no one sending them to me will be violating Borland's license agreement by so doing (though I guess I'd better insert a standard disclaimer to the effect that I'm not a lawyer). Also, while I'm at it, does anyone know whether any later version of Daniel Evans' window package has come out? (The files in the version I have are dated 7/24/87.) Or, has someone else come out with a better window package for Turbo C which I should consider using instead? (Please note that, in order to be useful to me, a window package must provide support for pop-up and/or pull-down command menus *and* be usable in both the "small" and "compact" memory models.) -- Rich Wales // UCLA Computer Science Department // +1 (213) 825-5683 3531 Boelter Hall // Los Angeles, California 90024-1596 // USA wales@CS.UCLA.EDU ...!(uunet,ucbvax,rutgers)!cs.ucla.edu!wales "We would all become unpeople, undoing unthings untogether."

There's also the 'turbbook.arc' files, which are *source* for a windowing package. (I just posted them there...) Includes data entry routines! Includes overlapping windows! Neat! No documentation! Buy the book! :-) Actually, given the quality of the source code, I would advise buying the book for the documentation value alone. One hopes that someone (Al Davis) who can write good code can also describe the code in English :-) -- Pray that Bush gets re-elected so that the Republicans will be blamed for it.
