Hi,
we are "upgrading" from DOS 3.30 tp OS/2 for several reasons. Some of
our PC's will remain under DOS. Up to now we used TurboPascal 4.0 as our
preferred programming language. As far as we are informed, there is no
version of TP running under OS/2. We do have lots of source code for TP4
and we are not very keen on re-writing all of it. Some rumours say that
QuickPascal 1.0 (Microsoft) is able to compile code that is written for
TP. Does anyone know whether this is true or not??? And if it is, what
happens to programs that USE the standard unit DOS, CRT and GRAPH under
TP4??  We do need some graphics (UNIT GRAPH would do it, something like
the Graphix Toolbox would be preferred). Is is true that QP1 runs under
OS/2, or is it just a bad joke??
Every hint will be helpful...
Thanks,
Chris
