I have uploaded Turbo Power's Bonus Disk utilities to SIMTEL20:
pd1:<msdos.turbopas>
BONUS507.ARC Misc. TP 4/5 utilities/pgms from TurboPower
The package is an update of a BONUS40.ARC in the same directory.
This is the READ.ME! file from the package:
Turbo Pascal 5.0 BONUS Subdirectory
-----------------------------------
The files in this subdirectory are non-commercial units and
utilities developed for Turbo Pascal 5.0 by a variety of authors,
including us at TurboPower Software. Many of the utilities build
upon Turbo Professional units; others stand by themselves. Almost
all have complete source code, so you can use them, modify them,
or just study them for ideas.
TurboPower Software provides this BONUS subdirectory as a free
service to our customers.
TurboPower Software offers no warranty, express or implied, for
the programs in the BONUS subdirectory. You may use a BONUS unit
bearing the TurboPower copyright within any application that you
write, without restriction. Other programs in the BONUS
subdirectory have either been released to the public domain by
their authors, or are distributed here by their express
permission. You may give copies of the files in the BONUS
subdirectory to anyone.
If you have a unit or utility for Turbo 5 that you think would be
an appropriate addition to the BONUS subdirectory, please let us
know.
If you'd like more information about TurboPower Software's products for

Each unit has been compressed into an ARC file with its
supporting files in order to save disk space. To extract the
individual files, use the supplied ARCX.COM program. From the DOS
prompt, enter
ARCX ArchiveName
For example, ARCX CHAIN.ARC would extract all of the files from
the CHAIN archive.
Here's a brief description of the files in the BONUS directory.
ASYNC4
A simple but effective set of asynchronous communications
routines. Emulates the popular ASYNC.INC from Turbo 3.

on background color combinations, e.g., YellowOnBlue.
