I recently had to respond to my daughter's cry for help with her
computer science homework.  She is using Turbo Pascal 5.5 at school
on a PC with a 3.5 inch floppy.  She was berating
me about the dinosaur 	 have (a 100B) and why couldn't we get
a PC that would run Turbo.  Well, I had Turbo 3.0, but the changes
in Turbo since then have been substantial.  The user interface is
totaly different and some of the capablity is new.

Welll, to make a long story short
I went to Soft Warehouse and bought Turbo 6.0 and tried it under
CB and MSDOS 3.1 on the 'Bow.  

It works fine.  Only problem is now my daughter must write her
work she does at school onto a 3.5 in and transfer them on another
machine to a 5.25 in single sided, bring it home, read it in to
the hard disk, work at home, write out the results onto another
single sided reserved for writing on the 'bow and reading on the PC,
convert to 3.5 and continue.  Well, it works anyhow!
