Students at NJIT use an IBM-PC clone and will shortly be using Turbo Pascal 5.0.
In general, they do NOT have the Borland manuals (at least as far as I can
tell).

My problem is this:  while getting the Borland documentation to the students
is important, the books are lousy for teaching.  They are (as should be
expected) written by committee.  I need to find a decent textbook for
Turbo Pascal which covers topics typical for a second course in programming,
e.g., more advanced features of Turbo Pascal such as dynamic structures,
recursion, abstract data types using units, as well as some sort of
overview or reference level guide to using Turbo 5.0 or 5.5 Pascal's
editor, the make and build functions, and the debugger.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,
