I have, for many years, been doing quite a few programs under DOS with the
TurboPascal. Lastly I have been using TP7.0 for DOS. Now, I have started
using Windows (WIN98SE). I still want to use my old programs, but transfer
them into a state taht they may be run under Windows. In the onscreen help
it says that this should be possible by putting the following line in the
top of your program:
USES WINDOWS;
Doing so, I get a message that the unit WINDOWS does not exist.
Is there anybody out there, who have a TP that will be running under
Windows, and who do not need it any longer? Maybe I could buy it out of
you???
Regards,
David
