Turbo Pascal for Windows (TPW) is really great: I have tried it for a short time now (received it on Friday, 5th): - I could easily compile my text based programs to windows environment by just adding one line 'WinCrt,' in the USES section of my program modules: they can now use all the memory available!!! - the TPW compiles really fast (no waiting like in MSC or even BCC) - there are nice demo programs: calculator, how to use DDE and so on - ObjectWindows library makes the creation of real Windows programs much easier than before But there are also something missing: - documentation about Windows programming is missing for example information about how to create programs with printing features - reference guide for Windows functions is included but there are no examples (or example source code) of each topics - the programmers guide for Windows is easy to read but lacks many details, like how to use different coordinate systems Jukka Kemppainen Technical Research Centre of Finland Computer Technology Laboratory e-mail: jke@tko.vtt.fi

Does TP for Windows link with .OBJ and .LIB formats?

It claims to be able to produce DLL format libraries, however, which can be called from any other language. By the way, there's a good review of a pre-release copy in the April/May issue of PC Techniques. Duncan Murdoch dmurdoch@watstat.waterloo.edu
