Introduction
------------

This disk contains two sample object-oriented programs written in Turbo
Pascal 5.5.  ChrtDemo is a sample object-oriented charting program,
Payroll is a sample payroll program that uses Turbo Power's Object
Professional libraries.  Source code is included to both programs, though
none of the Object Professional libraries or units are included.  These
sample programs may be distributed for non-commercial use.

Compiling the programs
----------------------

All of the source code is contained in *.PAS files.

To compile the ChrtDemo program start the Turbo Pascal 5.5 interactive
environment.  Make sure that the Options Directories Units menu choice
includes the path to units Chart.pas, Ptypes.pas and Dicts.pas contained
on this disk.  Also make sure the BGI driver required by your machine
and the BGI font files are in your path.  Use the menu choice Run Run
to compile and run the program.

To compile the payroll program you must have Turbo Power's Object
Professional library.  You must compile the code from the command line
without debug information as shown below:

        TPC /l/m/$d-/$l- payroll

The $d and $l directives are in the source code of the payroll program.


Starting the programs
---------------------

To start ChrtDemo, type  ChrtDemo   at the DOS prompt.

If ChrtDemo cannot find the appropriate BGI driver, an error message will
be displayed.  Make sure the BGI driver, program files and fonts are in
the same directory and they are in your path.

To start the Payroll program, type Payroll at the DOS prompt.
