For any of you who still have a Rainbow and wonder if TP4 will
run... It will! No problems. You don't even have to put the
TPC compiler in /Q (quiet) mode. I've been using the compiler
for about 2 weeks and there's been no problem (except using a
few functions like DELAY which exist in the CRT unit...using the
CRT unit can hang the program you write because it's expecting
a different terminal environment...Solution: rewrite some of
the conflicting routines.)
BTW, Borland says IT WON'T WORK on the Rainbow. They lied. They
don't care, it appears. If it doesn't say PC or PS/2 it doesn't
exist to Borland. Of course, they probably mean the integrated
environment compiler won't work. Maybe yes, maybe no. I have
to try to configure the TURBO compiler for monochrome and no
colors through TINST. I am sure it'll run under CodeBlue on the
Rainbow then. But, after using the environment on the PC....
Stick with the command-line version. "Real programmers don't
use environments...." (NO FLAMES! It's just a joke, maybe...)
Enjoy,
Alan
