What it is:
----------

Placemat is a text-based user interface for Turbo Pascal v6.0 programs.
It works like many other window systems, only much better.
It provides:
	- Nice window-look.
	- Works with 25, 43 and 50 lines modes.
	- All window are draggable, sizeable at the same time
		(So not only the active window is sizeable for example)
	- All menus of all window are selectable at the same time
		(Not only the active window)
	- It uses NO Processor time of your program. Windows can only be
	  manipulated during read and write actions. But you will see that
	  this will be enough.
	- All windows have their own menu
	- Windows can contain many views
	- Each view can have vertical and horizontal scrollbars
	- A user-friendly program interface

How it works:
------------

The main routines are in P_KERNAL.TPU both P_WINDOWS.TPU and P_CRT.TPU use
this unit, so you have to put P_KERNAL.TPU in your TPU-directory.
You don't have to include the file!!

If you want to use Placemat, your program has to be like this:

	program MyProgram;

	uses	P_Windows,
		P_Crt;		{Only if want want to make use of the Crt
				 rountines}

	begin
		InstallPlacemat ( Width, Height, 0);

		(....)
		(Your program using the Placemat-routines)
		(....)

		RemovePlacemat;
	end.

See the P_WINDOW.DOC and P_CRT.DOC how to use the routines of placemat.

See also the demo PLACEMAT.PAS, it will explain a lot.
