Hello Netlanders: I'm hoping that others have been dissatisfied with the Turbo Pascal editor and its command-modification feature to come up with a patch to invoke some other resident editor, such as microemacs or epsilon. If such an animal exists, posting it in comp.lang.pascal would probably benefit many of us pascal programmers.

The best that can be done is to disable the editor, so that the system exits to DOS instead of running the editor. Turbo 4.0 should be a bit different (more on the lines of Turbo BASIC and TPROLOG), but I doubt it will have the ability to invoke a custom editor.

There is a patch that I picked up recently for turbo 3.0b that adds
the Exit to dos command on the turbo menu. Would this help you? This
would allow you to invoke an editor, edit type 'exit' press 'r' for
run and be on your way............

Actually, the best way to call a compiler is from the command line. The
Turbo approach of providing a small but fast and complete editing/compiling
environment made sense when it came out, but no longer does. I think
Borland agrees, since the recently Turbo Pascal 4.0 includes a DOS command
line interface. However, some of us aren't willing to pay to upgrade charge
just for that one feature (the upgrade is almost as much as I paid for Turbo
3.01 w/ 8087 and BCD in the first place!) and don't need any of the other new
features.
Does anyone know of a patch to 3.01 that would allow command line compiles?
Then I could invoke the compiler from within BRIEF 2.0 or use a MAKE-likebooks are archer@elysium.SGI.COM (Archer Sully) (09/25/87)

You mean, you don't want/need separate compilation, and yet you also want to use make??? chacon a son gout, but this does seem a mite bit peculiar. There was a patch on CompuServe called TURBAT.PAT, or some such silliness that allowed calling turbo from command lines. At least, I think that's what it did, but then again, I may be out to lunch, as usual. BTW: Has anyone considered grabbing the archives off CompuServe and making a USENET accessible archive for them?

I patched two different Turbo Pascal compilers last year to
1) Accept commands from standard input so the compiler
could be run from a batch file
2) The compiler will quietly exit when it encounters an error.
I haven't got the patches nor are they fresh in my mind but if
you really want them I know where I can get them.

Phil Windley Robotics Research Lab University of California, Davis Phil Windley, I was asking if anyone would have any use for a patch that added a DOS gateway to the turbo pascal compiler menu. This would allow the user to invoke a different editor and still be in turbo pascal. This question was in response to another letter asking about alternative editors for turbo pascal.
