Shazam and DLGDSN for Turbo Pascal with Turbo Vision

Recently there have been several questions about Shazam and DLGDSN.  The
enclosed information about these programs was posted to comp.lang.pascal
in Mid November 1992.  At the end of this post is a list of FTP sites
where these programs are available.  Have fun.   :-)

DLGDSN - (C) David Baldwin
         An excellent dialog design toolkit that implements a WYSIWYG
         user-interface. You design the dialog on-screen, and once you are
         satisfied, select the 'Write Source' option.
         Allows the user to enter: Static Text, RadioButtons, Buttons,
         CheckBoxes, InputLines, Labels and ListBoxes.
         You can also set the help-context of each object, and the
         pointer names.
         The source-code also includes the DATAREC.

       * Dialog Boxes can be written directly to a resource file.
       * You can TRY the operation of the Dialog at any stage during
         the design process.
       * The 'Order Mode' allows you to set the order in which the
         user will Tab to each object.

SHAZAM - (C) Jonathan Stein
         Complete application generator for Turbo Vision. Allows you
         to quickly and simply design and generate your user interface.
         Using this program is extremely simple, but the power that it
         provides is astronomical.
         All you are required to do is write a short .DEF (Definition)
file,
         and SHAZAM will generate all the necessary code to create your
         application.

       * Using my 386, the total time to generate and compile using the /b
         (Build) compiler option, was ...... 12 secs!
       * When creating the .DEF file, you can design context-sensitive
status
         lines, set hot-keys, design nested menus and even link in your
         custom written procedures.
       * By the way, SHAZAM also generates and compiles help text.


TVHC   - (C) Borland International
         Turbo Vision Help Compiler comes with the original TP6 Disks.
         Designed specifically to allow the programmer to write help
         text for applications.
       * Note: You don't have to recompile your program to change the
         help text, as this is compile and stored in a Stream.

Archie says that Shazam is available at the following anonymopus FTP
sites (note: DLGDSN may be included in Shazam, and will appear as a
separate file when Shazam is unzippe).
