[comp.lang.pascal] TD 2.00 compatible with TPas 6.0

CDCKAB%EMUVM1.BITNET@cunyvm.cuny.edu ( Karl Brendel) (11/16/90)

I recently repeated a report from a sysop on Borland's "RT" on GEnie.
The report was that the Turbo Debugger 2.00 shipped previous to the
Turbo Pascal 6.0 release was NOT compatible with TPas 6.0. (TD 2.00
shipped with TC++ Professional, with the "Tools" package, and with
recent TPas 5.5 Professional.)

A Borland tech support engineer has recently come forward to deny the
report and clarify the matter.

According to Borland: TD 2.00 IS compatible with TPas 6.0. TD 2.01 is
shipping with TPas 6.0 Professional and is available as a maintenance
upgrade for present TD 2.00 owners. [NB: I suspect that 2.01 is shipping
now with TC++ Professional and the Tools package as well.] The changes
from TD 2.00 to 2.01 are bug fixes involving [NB: only?] errors in
reporting the values of MaxAvail and MemAvail.

I am trying to determine whether the 2.00 to 2.01 bug fixes will be
available as patch files or whether diskettes from Borland are required.

Excuse me for having posted misinformation earlier. Again, I was
repeating the report of a sysop reputed to be writing "for BORLAND".
