The next step would be to publish the source code, if it is still available.

This program blows. I can't even write a decent pong game in it. This thing really sucks, David.

A few weeks back, I dug out my Osborne Executive & fired it up. Wow. 2 seconds boot time to bring up CP/M+! Those WERE the good old days.Dug around a bit & found the Turbo Pascal 1.0 CP/M disk & started it up, & played with it a bit. Then spotted Walt Bilofsky's UVMac CP/M Macro Assembler (Software Toolworks) Disk. Whew. It's been a while.My kids thought I was nuts, LOL. "That's a COMPUTER??? It looks like luggage! Where's the Mouse?"If anyone has an interest, I could copy the disk over to an IBM format & zip them up. If Borland doesn't want to post it, (& they don't care if I do,) I could post it at my site.

re: Running on XT 8088 ???

Yes, it runs on XT. That was my first experience with Pascal, TP1 on an XT. Ah, those good old days...

Wordstar2000 commands are quite simple.The bets way to remember them is to look in the Help of TP 3.0 (F1)If I remeber right, there are three pages, simple/basic, advanced, expertit's easy as cakenot guaranteed, but from my volatile organic memory :Ctrl-K-X to exitCtrl-K-D to define start of a blockCtrl-K-K to copy the previously defined blockCtrl-K-V to paste itCtrl-O-O to insert compiler's directives (still works in Delphi 7 ;-)

wasn't TP 1.0 first available on Apple ][ ?

Turbo Pascal v1.0 Z80 version could really be useful

2003-01-06T08:25:16-08:00

I would also be interested in the Z80 version. The Sharp Wizard OZ-800 PDA evidently runs on one of the 32bit z80 successors, and currently there are some folks trying to develop alternative PDA apps. It's been years since I coded z80 in any form, but I do remember surrendering my beloved Digital Research PL/I-80, and less used mbasic and cbasic for TP1.0 after reading Pournell's article, and not looking back. (If only I could find my original 8" licensed media, *and* something to read it with.... maybe a treasure hunt for spring cleaning time ) I'm sure that the system support routines would have to be reworked, but I'm sure there is someone who can...-h
