I remember buying an early version of TP in a bookstore. It was a floppy inside the back cover of the book. I sure learned a lot about structured programming back then. Used it on an old AT&T/Olivetti 8086 machine with 2 floppy drives and 640K ram!I especially liked the one-step compiler (no linker) and the really tight .COM files. With disk space at a premium, I would to benchmark compiled programs by how much compression I could in the old ARC format. If there was very little compression, then the code was already very dense. TP binaries were always very good in this respect.-doug A Sip From The Firehose: Nov. 29, 1999 - Turbo Pascal 1.0 is 16 years old th... sa machado http://threads.embarcadero.com/threads/threads.exe/userall?commentid=27076 http://threads.embarcadero.com/threads/threads.exe/view?commentid=27076 2000-11-11T11:13:18-08:00 2000-11-11T11:13:18-08:00 A Sip From The Firehose: Nov. 29, 1999 - Turbo Pascal 1.0 is 16 years old th...
