-----TOOLS:     programming utilities

[BINOBJ]
BinObj (Larsen, Per Bent; $0) allows TP programs to emit .OBJ-files containing
data in the same format as the BINOBJ.EXE utility does. The unit works, but it
could need better I/O-error checking and handling.

[DLLDLG]

program with the EXE file from a different version of the same program. It
also lets you write a program that uses several different overlay files, each
containing a different version of the same routines, and switch between them
dynamically. All source code included.

[PASCALW]
Pascal-W 1.0 (Wirch, Rick and Davis, Chris; $0) is a Pascal editor, compiler,
interpreter for Windows 3.0. It has a help file, but knowledge of Pascal is
required. It does not have all the features of standard Pascal, but has

that line, and the line numbers along with the listing. The cross-reference
utility will give a complete cross reference of all identifiers declared
within a program, or a partial listing (on requested object types). The
listing gives each identifier's name, its type, the code line declared on, all
lines referencing the names, and the scope (the procedure or function name and
level in which the identifier was declared within). Output can go to the
printer or a file.
