Yesterday I saw the announcement on Compuserve of Turbo Pascal 5.5, and Turbo Debugger 1.5. The difference from the previous version is support for some kind of object oriented programming style. The press release was 99% hype, so I won't bother posting it. Upgrades from TP 5.0 to TP 5.5 are supposed to be $34.95, and upgrades from TP 4.0 or TP 5.0 to the new professional version of TP 5.5, which includes the debugger, are $99.95. I didn't see any mention of upgrading an existing TP 5.0 Professional. The forum I was in deals only with Pascal, so there may also have been an announcement about Turbo C. I have no connection with Borland, other than being a (usually) satisfied customer. Duncan Murdoch

The "Professional" upgrade includes both TP 5.5 and T Debugger 1.5.

I've called Borland since posting the news of the release, and they say the upgrade from TP 5.0 Professional to TP 5.5 Professional is $49.95. This includes the Pascal upgrade as well as the Debugger upgrade. All upgrades also have charges for shipping ($5 in the U.S., $10 to Canada) and possibly sales tax. Duncan Murdoch

Does anyone know what kind of documentation is included with the TP5 --> TP5.5 upgrade? Do you get an entire new manual for TP5.5, or just one of those "New Features" books, like they sent out with Turbo C 1.5 because they were too lazy to rewrite the docs from 1.0?
