                          Pascal Lite

                       version 1.00 freeware

Thank you for your trying this new Pascal compiler for MS DOS

This is a full 32-bit Pascal compiler for 80386/486/Pentium Intel CPU's.
Pascal Lite produces native 32-bit protected-mode using the PMODE extender.

Requirements
------------

    for MS DOS:

       3Mb of hard disk
       MS DOS operating system v 5.0 or later
       2Mb of free XMS

Pascal Lite Installation
------------------------

   The Pascal Lite distribution is contained in the tmtpl39d.zip archive.
   Please, read the license.doc file before the installation.

   Follow these instructions to run the installation process.

      - create the \TMTPL directory on one of the drives (we will call
        it the x: drive) using the command:
            x> md TMTPL

      - copy the tmtp100d.zip file into the TMTPL directory:

            x> copy  tmtp100d.zip x:\TMTPL
            x> x:
            x> cd \TMTPL

      - run the PKUNZIP program to decompress the tmtp100d.zip

            x:\TMTPL> pkunzip -d tmtp100d

        (the switch "-d" unpacks with subdirectories)

      - modify the PATH statement in the autoexec.bat, to include the
                x:\TMTPL\BIN
         subdirectory, if you so desire.

      - go to \TMTPL\EXAMPLES\DOS\HELLO
        compile the simple test program, "HELLO.PAS", and run it:

           x:\TMTPL> plt hello
           x:\TMTPL> hello

      - read the entire manual.doc file before using the compiler for
        any "real" application development.

      also in this directory contains files:
          DOS32.EXE   - DOS32 extender

          PASSTUB.EXE - PMODE-based extender

   example:

     subdirectory EXAMPLE\ contains following examples for MS DOS:

       COMP\  - example of complex operators definition
       HELLO\ - example "Hello, World" program
       FLAME\ - example of direct works with I/O ports and physical
                memory
       VESADEMO\ - example of import and usage VESA.OBJ file from
                  DOS32 libraries.
       LIN_EQ\ - example of multidimensional open arrays usage

   supplemental files:

      DOS32\              - subdirectory that contains the DOS32
                           distribution to be used by the application.

      These files are no longer in the default distribution;
      If you need DOS32, you should obtain DOS32.ZIP and install
      (unzip) it over the PLT/DOS distribution.
