STREAMS - TP/BP/TPW unit to supplement TurboVision/ObjectWindows streams

Version 1.5. Copyright D.J. Murdoch (1992,1993).

DESCRIPTION

"Wierd Stream Tricks" might be a good name for this unit. It contains a miscellaneous collection of objects and procedures, all on a theme of adding functionality to the streams in Borland's Turbo Pascal libraries TurboVision and ObjectWindows.

Most of my testing has been in TP 6 and BP 7 real mode; the code and demos also appear to work in BP 7 protected mode, and compile under Windows, but use it with care in those "foreign" environments.

Release history and credits

  1. - First release, missing LZW. Immediately replaced by
  2. - First correct release: TFilter, TEncryptFilter, TTextFilter, TLogFilter, TRAMStream, TNamedBufStream, TTempBufStream, TempStream, overlay procedures (my ideas), TLZWFilter (from code by Wilbert van Leijen)
  3. - TNulStream, TXMSStream added (from Stefan Boether)
    TBitFilter added (suggestion of Rene Seguin)
    TFilter.Done calls Flush
    TRAMStream.UseBuf and OwnMem added.
  4. - TDupFilter, TSequential, TChksumFilter added (my ideas), TCRC16Filter, TCRCARCFilter, TCRC32Filter and related procedures added (from code by Edwin T. Floyd, Stephen Satchell, Chuck Forsberg, Mark G. Mendel, R. P. Byrne, J. R. Louvau and probably others); TFilter.Flush added; HUFFMAN demo added.
  5. - Recoded several of the TRAMStream methods in assembler for more speed; fixed numerous TTextFilter bugs and added TTextFilter.AssignStream and TextDemo.pas; fixed TXMSStream.Seek bug. Changed xms_Memavail and xms_Maxavail to report in bytes, and added ems_Memavail and ems_Maxavail (based on code sent to me by Eyal Doron) and disk_Memavail and disk_Maxavail. Changed TXMSStream.Init to match TEMSStream.Init. Added TConcatFilter, TLimitFilter, TLoopFilter, TReverseFilter and TWorkStream. Added OwnsBase field to TFilter. Did some testing to assure that the unit works in BP 7 protected mode. Thanks to Max Maschein, Eyal Doron, and others for bug fix help.
  6. - The first public release of the 1.4 enhancements.
