TVHC, a Help Compiler example from Borland Pascal
In order for the original source code from Borland to work with
Virtual Pascal for OS/2, the following changes need to me made. Note,
that the source will still work with Borland Pascal after the changes
have been made.
* Add Use32 to all the Uses clause of all units
* Change TVHC.PAS:
The CopyToBuffer procedure is implemented using 16 bit assembler code,
which must be changed to 32 bit in the Virtual Pascal version.
Change the body of the procedure by inserting
{$IFNDEF OS2}
just before the "asm" statement block. Just before the final "end" of
the asm statement block, insert the VP/2 code:
{$ELSE}
{$USES esi,edi} {$FRAME-}
asm
cld
mov edi,OFFSET Buffer
add edi,Ofs
mov esi,Line
xor eax,eax
lodsb
add Ofs,eax
xchg eax,ecx
rep movsb
xor al,al
test Wrapping,1
je @@1
mov al,' '-13
@@1:
add al,13
@@2:
stosb
inc Ofs
{$ENDIF}
* Change TVHC.PAS:
- After the Uses clause, add the following:
{$IFDEF VPDEMO}
{$Dynamic VP11Demo.Lib}
{$ENDIF}
This means, that the program will use all units stored in the
Demo Licence DLL (vp11demo.dll) when the program is compiled with
the demonstration version of VP/2.
