A couple of days ago I posted the following query:

>about OOP for now...).

I received 7 replies with the following recommendations:

Responses:

1  Turbo Pascal 2nd Ed--Koffman
3  Complete Turbo Pascal ---Dunteman
1  Turbo Pascal-The complete reference--O'Brien
1  Turbo Pascal DiskTutor--Feibel
1  Turbo Pascal Tutor--no author given (same as above?)

By consensus the Dunteman Book is the winner.  I will, however, look at
each of the above before making a decision.  Thanks to all for their
input.
