It is now garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/ts/tspa33*.zip where * = 40,50,55,60,70. Added to unit TSUNTC the reversal of enabling hi-intensity background BLBACK "Cancel HIBACK enabling usage of blinking text" Added to TSUNTG ISRAMFN "Is a drive a probable ramdisk" Corrected a bug giving occasional random results in TSUNTH LASTDRFN "Get last drive of the system, softcoded, not XTs" If you have used LASTDRFN, you should compile your program anew. Added to TSUNTJ ISDIR3FN "Is a name a directory or not", a slower and surer method see garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/ts/tsfaqp*.zip for details of ISDIR3FN. Reprogrammed in TSUNTENV unit SETENV "Set a parent environment variable (variable=value)" It now accepts equal signs in the 'value'. I also added an example to TSUNTENV.TST to show how to set several environment variable values. Moved to a new TSUNTBOT unit from TSUNTG COLDBOOT "Reboot computer, including memory tests" WARMBOOT "Warm reboot of the computer (as alt-ctrl-del)" and added to this new unit REBOOT "Reboot computer with disk closing and cache flushing" ------------------------------------------------------------------- TSUNTA: (uses Dos, Crt, TSUNTE) ATTRIBFN Color attribute for direct write to video memory HIGHTFN Current height of text screen PANML Scroll screen left PANMR Scroll screen right VDAEXYFN Direct read of a screen video memory color attribute VDCHXY Direct read from the screen video memory VIDXY Direct write to the screen video memory WIDTHFN Current width of the text screen TSUNTB: (uses Dos) BBINFN Convert decimal byte to binary string BHEXFN Convert decimal byte to hexadecimal string BINDECFN Convert binary string to decimal word BINFN Convert decimal word to binary string BITONFN Boolean status of a bit in a word BTEWRDFN Combine two bytes into a single word, inverse of Hi & Lo CONVBFN Convert a number (string) of any base to any other base HEXDECFN Convert hexadecimal string to decimal word HEXFN Convert decimal word to hexadecimal string HEXLNGFN Convert hexadecimal string to decimal longint up to 7FFFFFFF HIWORDFN The high-order (hi) word of the longint argument LBINFN Convert decimal longint to binary string LHEXFN Convert decimal longint to hexadecimal string LOWORDFN The low-order (lo) word of the longint argument POWERFN Conventional raising of a positive real to a power POWERGFN Generalized raising of any real to a real power POWERLFN Raise longint to a non-negative integer power fast R16TOFN Sixteen to a power fast (word) TICKSFN Count of 18.2 times per second ticks (longint) TIMERFN Seconds elapsed since midnight (real) TWOTOFN Two to a power fast (word) WRDLNGFN Combine two words into a longint TSUNTC: (uses Dos, Crt) BLBACK Cancel HIBACK enabling usage of blinking text HIBACK Enable hi-intensity (bright) background colors PLAYNOTE Play a note REVCOLOR Reverse text colors (a toggle) TSUNTD: (uses Dos) AUDIO Enhanced Sound procedure, no Crt unit needed DOSDELAY Delay without needing the Crt unit GETPRTFN Get the number of printer default timeout retry times LEADFN Lead a string with a multiple character (i.e. pad left) LOWCASFN The opposite of UpCase (inline coded) LPTONLFN Get the online status of the first parallel printer PARSE Extract all substrings from a string faster (1st method) PARSENFN Number of substrings in a string (resembles ParamCount) PARSERFN Get substrings from a string (resembles ParamStr) PRTONLFN Get the online status of a printer (may fail) PRTSCR Print the current screen SETPRT Set the number of default printer timeout retry times SPARTFN Returns a specified substring (resembles ParamStr) STRCNTFN Number of substrings in a string (resembles ParamCount) TRAILFN Trail a string with a multiple character (i.e. pad right) TRIMLFFN Trim a string left TRIMRGFN Trim a string right TSUNTE: (uses Dos) ALLSIZFN Allocated true size of a file in bytes ARCFILFN Is a file's archive bit set or not BORDER Change border color (CGA, VGA) CAPS Turn CapsLock on, or off CAPSONFN Get CapsLock status CLB Clear the keyboard buffer CLUSIZFN Cluster size on a device (cluster is the allocation unit) CMDLNFN Returns the entire command line CURSOFF Turn off cursor (keeps other cursor attributes) CURSON Turn cursor back on as it was CURSOR Change cursor size DATEOKFN Is a date a valid, existing date DEFDRVFN Get the default drive FEXISTFN File existence status, handles ReadOnly files correctly FSIZE2FN File size in bytes, alternative method FSIZEFN File size in bytes as in directory (never on open file) HIDFILFN Is a file a hidden file or not LABELFN Get a disk's volume label LASTDMFN The number of days in a given month and year MONOFN Is it a monochrome video adapter NUMLOCK Turn NumLock on, or off NUMLONFN Get NumLock status RDOFILFN Is a file a read-only file or not SCRLOCK Turn ScrollLock on, or off SCRLONFN Get ScrollLock status SYSFILFN Is a file a system file or not WEEKNRFN Returns the week number for a given date WKDAYFN Returns modern weekday ZELLERFN Zeller's congruence (for comparing dates etc) TSUNTF: (uses Dos, Crt) EDRDEBLN Editable Readln with ctrl-c, break trapping, pre-fill etc EDRDEFLN Editable Readln with recall, pre-fill, and insert toggle EDRDLN Readln with line-editing potential (the simplest) EDREABLN Edreadln with ctrl-c and break trapping EDREADLN Editable Readln with recall, and insert toggle TSUNTG: (uses Dos) ACTDRVFN Which floppy drive is active on a one drive system ALTFN Is the alt key depressed CLS Set 25*80 text mode and clear screen (no Crt required) CLS40 Set 25*40 text mode and clear screen (no Crt required) CTRLFN Is the ctrl key depressed DRIVESFN Number of diskette drives on the system DSKCNTFN Get the number of disk devices (MsDos 3.0+) FDRIVEFN The name of the first diskette drive on the system FIXEDFN Is a drive a fixed disk or not FLOPSTFN Floppy disk status.
