[comp.lang.pascal] Upgrade to Turbo Pascal 5.5 ???

mark@hpldsla.sid.hp.com (Mark Cervarich) (09/06/90)

Hello fellow netters.

I have been using Turbo Pascal 4.0 for quite a few years now,
and I was wondering if it would be worth it to upgrade to
Turbo Pascal 5.5 and/or get the Turbo 5.5 professional.

Currently, I program because I enjoy it, but there are a few ideas
that I have for possibly marketable/shareware programs. 

I want to be able to program for a VGA and a mouse.  Any hints or comments
from anyone who has upgraded or just plain old uses T.P. 5.5 would
be helpful.         

Please respond via e-mail, or reply to this basenote; whichever
is more convenient.

   The benefits from using the object-oriented concepts included in Turbo 5.5
are invaluable
 to your software development.  Also the Turbo 5.5 manual gives a good
explanation of
 how to use those concepts.  I would definitely upgrade.
