Is this a good place for posting Turbo Pascal Windows questions. I am making the switch from Turbo Vision to Turbo Windows Objects and have encountered questions. Anybody out there starting to use Turbo Windows under Pascal? Any comments.

So what's your question... fire away.

Any comments. I've just started to use TPW. I might be able to save some people some grief. The debugger doesn't work in anything but VGA mode (or perhaps EGA/CGA). I have an SVGA monitor + herc setup. The readme describes only very vaguely that you need to have a dual monitor setup. Setting this up is itself vaguely described in Appendix C of the Degbuuger manual, where it describes the operation of the program that configures TDW. Two monitor debugging works with SVGA (recommended because the cost of the additional monitor is very low), but still kills the mouse. FixArrow does correct that problem, though. Single monitor debugging with SVGA kills the display: my monitor can't synch on the signal, and I have to get out of windows to correct the problem. My comments: the whole thing looks real slick (even including the debugger problem), but as I haven't written a single character of code, take that for what it's worth. It takes a *lot* less space than the C6+SDK setup (I saved ~1.5M of space by deleting C6+SDK and adding TPW.) -- Anant Kartik Mithal akm@cs.uoregon.edu Research Assistant, (503)346-4408 (msgs) Department of Computer Science, (503)346-3989 (direct) University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403-1202
