TP7.0 Drivers Unit drivers.tpu

Hello Group
I was wondering what procedures, and functions etc. Does the drivers.tpu

unit provide?? I can't find nothing in Borland TP 7.0 Books.
Found a function 'formatstr' in help file. I could really use a function
like 'sprint'.
Any info would be great.
Thank you!!

It's used by Turbo Vision. It provides mouse drivers, event handling
routines, extended keyboard stuff, etc. Essentially every TV program
will use it.

Can't find one here...

Er, I take it you mean printf/sprintf? For 'sprint', I think Str() will do.

I don't think there is one. Some of that functionality is built into
write, though.

If you have Borland Pascal 7 installed, you should have a copy of
drivers.pas; I don't know whether it comes with Turbo Pascal 6/7.

Drivers.pas contains a function called FormatStr that works in a similar way
to the C sprintf function.
