[net.lang.pascal] Turbo Pascal 3.0

jchapman@watcgl.UUCP (john chapman) (07/26/85)

The ads for turbo pascal 3.0 seem to imply that they
only have tree structured directory support for the
PC-DOS version and not the generic MSDOS version.

I don't see why it would be specific to PC-DOS, it
shouldn't depend on the hardware as far as I can see.

Can anyone out there state just what the support in the
generic 3.0 is?

An aside: I tried 8queens and recursive and iterative
versions of quicksort on both Terbo 2.0 and MS-Pascal
The latter was much faster in execution despite the
figures they give for their benchmarks execution speed.
Only significant difference I could see was their becnhmark
employed significant floating point work and mine didn't.
Perhaps they have a faster float package (and less accurate?)
than MS-Pascal?

Thanks in advance for any help.
