[comp.lang.pascal] THINK Pascal and Turbo Pascal.

nmouawad@watmath.waterloo.edu (Naji Mouawad) (02/27/91)

Recently, my supervisor aquiered a product that was written in
Think Pascal. She also bought Think Pascal. I, on the other
hand have Turbo Pascal and I am considering porting the package
that was written in Think Pascal to Turbo Pascal (V 6.0).

Before plunging into the manuals of Think Pascal, I wonder
if some of you may have tips, hints, suggestions, what to look
for and what to avoid. I mean an informed reading is much more
profitable than one that is not.

Any comments are appreciated.

Unless the THINK Pascal program doesn't use the MAC user interface goodies
(dialog boxes, windows, icons, etc) you're in for a long and tedious port...

Sorry to insist (I will be posting a summary of the messages I've got,
rather than answering each individualy) but do you think it would
be very hard to port it to TP 6.0, using Turbo Vision ?

I don't mean to get a lengthy detailed answer, just "how does it
smell" ...
