(* TP-Buffer unit version 1.1 /Update *)
(* Using the keyboard's buffer in Turbo Pascal *)
(* This unit is released to the public domain *)
(* by Lavi Tidhar on 5-10-1992 *)
(* This unit adds three special functions not *)
(* incuded in the Turbo Pascal regular package *)
(* You may alter this source code, move the *)
(* procedures to your own programs. Please do *)
(* NOT change these lines of documentation *)
(* This source might teach you about how to *)
(* use interrupts in pascal, and the keyboard's *)
(* buffer. from the other hand, it might not :-) *)
(* Used: INT 16, functions 0 and 1 *)
(* INT 21, function 0Ch *)
(* INT 16 - KEYBOARD - READ CHAR FROM BUFFER, WAIT IF EMPTY
AH = 00h
Return: AH = scan code
AL = character *)
(* INT 16 - KEYBOARD - CHECK BUFFER, DO NOT CLEAR
AH = 01h
Return: ZF = 0 character in buffer
AH = scan code
AL = character
ZF = 1 no character in buffer *)
(* INT 21 - DOS - CLEAR KEYBOARD BUFFER
AH = 0Ch
AL must be 1, 6, 7, 8, or 0Ah.
Notes: Flushes all typeahead input, then executes function specified by AL
(effectively moving it to AH and repeating the INT 21 call).
If AL contains a value not in the list above, the keyboard buffer is
flushed and no other action is taken. *)
