I've just heard that there is a Turbo Pascal Professional. Is this different from Turbo Pascal 5.0 or are they the same thing? Does this new Turbo Pascal Professional come with the Debugger? Is this Debugger the same as Borland's Turbo Assemble/Debugger package? A Turbo Pascal user who plans to upgrade but is a bit confused. Thanks. -- J. Chin (a.k.a.

The Borland "Professional" packages contain the language of your choice (two choices, actually: C or Pascal), and the Turbo Assembler/Debugger. The Turbo Pascal 5.0/Turbo C 2.0 in the professional package is the same as you'd buy separately, it's just that it costs less to buy the two as one package. Note: When you upgrade, at least with Turbo C, it is my understanding that your TC 1.5 Addendum is replaced with a TC 2.0 Addendum; you don't get the new manuals. If you upgrade to the Professional package, however, you get everything brand-spankin' new. -dg- Internet: dave@sun.soe.clarkson.edu or: dave@clutx.clarkson.edu BITNET: dave@CLUTX.Bitnet uucp: {rpics, gould}!clutx!dave Matrix: Dave Goldblatt @ 1:260/360 ICBM: 075W 044N

Turbo Pascal 5.0 comes with the Integrated Development Environment, which has an embedded debugger. Turbo Pascal 5.0 Professional includes Turbo Assembler and Turbo Debugger, which is a stand-alone debugger that can be used with Pascal, C, or assembler. The same deal works for Turbo C 2.0 and Turbo C 2.0 Professional (which is what I upgraded to). Sean Malloy Navy Personnel Research & Development Center San Diego, CA 92152-6800 malloy@nprdc.arpa

You forgot to mention that TP5.0 and TC2.0 both come with *integrated* debuggers in the integrated environments. This is built in, so you will get it even if you don't get the "Professional." The Professional package includes a stand-along debugger which is more advanced than the integrated debuggers. (And, of course, it includes the assembler.) >Note: When you upgrade, at least with Turbo C, it is my understanding that >your TC 1.5 Addendum is replaced with a TC 2.0 Addendum; you don't get the >new manuals.

If you look at the definition on p. 141 of the reference guide it says the Window "Defines a text window on the screen." Graphics aren't bound by it. ^^^^ Also be sure your program didn't drop you out of graphics mode on accident. Second, stay away from the Graph3 unit. The Borland Graphics Interface (defined in the Graph unit) is MUCH more powerful and useful. Take some time and learn it. It's worth your while. It includes procedures for setting view ports (graphics windows) which is what you want. It also detects what graphics card you have and loads an appropriate graphics driver for the card.

I recently recieved Turbo Pascal 5.0, and was installing windows into
one of my programs, when I noticed that the Draw command doesn't seem to work
as documented.. I loaded the uses graph3 command in proper order, and then
did thus:
draw(1,1,25,25,blue); The Compiler took it to be in proper context, yet when
I ran it (both before and after the window was loaded, as I the manual claims
that only the area in the window may be written to ( w/ my experiance with
compilers of all sorts, I had my doubts - thus the wasted effort ))
and no lines were forth comming.... Perchance I'm missing something?

Wed 6-Dec-89: Updated the programmers' Turbo Pascal 5.0 (and 4.0) units collection to be version /pc/ts/tspas17. The new procedures include WHEREXFN and WHEREYFN which locate the cursor position without the Crt unit. As you will recall Crt unit includes a WhereX and a WhereY function. The reason I have prepared alternatives to Crt functions and procedures in this, and the earlier releases, is because with some incompatible PCs the Crt unit causes problems, and redirection requires special measures with the Crt. - KEYPREFN is a replacement of KeyPressed and READKEFN for ReadKey. - CLUSIZFN gives the cluster size on a device. ALLSIZFN gives the true total size allocated to a file instead of the size shown on ordinary directory listings. - INKEYFN is a Basic-like timed input. Tspas17.arc is available by anonymous ftp as usual. Let me repeat a wish for those of you who may have found my programs or units useful. As I am not asking for any registration fees for the PD versions, would you do me a reciprocal favor by uploading at least some of my packages to, say eg one local bulletin board (BBS), and thus contribute to disseminating the *latest* versions of these packages. And, if you distribute these packages, would you PLEASE distribute an entire package, not individual programs from within any package. This is a request that all of us share who write PD programs. ...................................................................
