[comp.lang.pascal] Turbo Pascal for windows.....

trodgers@nmsu.edu (Thomas Rodgers) (02/21/91)

I contacted Borland today about the pending releas of Pascal for
windows, where I was greeted by an Exceedingly rude technician, who
said that it would be available by the end of the first quarter.

What I was really interested in though, was if TurboVision programs 
would port to windows with any vast contortions, and he refused to
say.  So I am wondering if any one out there who might be privy to
such information, would care to shed some light on this.

The answer is no.  I went to the Software Developers conference and they
said no.  Borland says that you will have to convert the basic structure of
your program but since TV is event driven they say it shouldnot be too hard.
Oh well, Im screwed.  I have four months of TVision code that I will have
to hand convert to windows.


What a pisser!
