Turbo Pascal for Windows (TPW) is really great: I have tried it for a short time now (received it on Friday, 5th): - I could easily compile my text based programs to windows environment by just adding one line 'WinCrt,' in the USES section of my program modules: they can now use all the memory available!!! - the TPW compiles really fast (no waiting like in MSC or even BCC) - there are nice demo programs: calculator, how to use DDE and so on - ObjectWindows library makes the creation of real Windows programs much easier than before But there are also something missing: - documentation about Windows programming is missing for example information about how to create programs with printing features - reference guide for Windows functions is included but there are no examples (or example source code) of each topics - the programmers guide for Windows is easy to read but lacks many details, like how to use different coordinate systems Jukka Kemppainen Technical Research Centre of Finland Computer Technology Laboratory e-mail: jke@tko.vtt.fi
