[comp.lang.pascal] Re TP history

I have a pair of good reviews for Turbo Pascal versions 4.0 and 6.0 (at
home) from PC Magazine.  These list all the new features as well as
telling users how to kludge/convert old code (I'm not sure how detailed
of a history you want).

I imagine that they reviewed V3.0, V5.5 & V5.0 as well.  [Pascal was
once the serious PC programmer's choice as C is now.  PC Magazine used
to devote a good amount of space to programming in BASIC and Turbo
Pascal (they now devote some space to assembler and C).]

I'll try to get citations to the two above reviews.  There are also
other magazines you want to check out if you have access to a good
library, but I can't recall which ones.
