Hello, everybody,
Does anyone know whether Borland plans to issue a TP version running
under OS/2, not only under DOS???
Does anybody know an acceptable PASCAL compiler under OS/2 INCLUDING
some graphics (drawing curves etc), something between
TP graphics toolbox and unit graph in TP4??
Christian

I would suggest using a Modula 2 compiler instead. Modual 2 is a better language than standard Pascal and has most of the Turbo enhancements as standard part of the language definition. All of the major Modula 2 compiler makers have versions for OS/2. JPI Modula 2 was purchased from Borland who were going to release it as Turbo Modula 2. Logitech Modula 2 has been supporting OS/2 for years now. Stony Brook Modula 2 includes both OS/2 and DOS versions of their compiler and Quick compiler in one package. This one also has interface routines for Microsoft Windows and the Presentation Manager. In short, your best bet is probably to get Modula 2 and use the Presenation Manager for your graphics library. At first PM programming will be a little wierd but that does not last too long, and the graphics library that is part of the PM is really pretty powerful. Es gefaellt mir! -----Dale Rogerson-----
