Hi all,
	I am very sory, if an equal question like mine was posted
earlier, but I am not a PASCAL programmer and do not subscribe this
newsgroop. I just post a question for a friend, to whom I will forward
all answers.

Till now he worked whith TurboPascal 3.0 and thinks of upgrading to 5.*,
but there are rumours of very significant differences even of not being
upward compatible.

The question is, what are the most important differences, are they realy
worth changing the version and learning and would you update? (Do not tell
me it depends on what he wants to do, just answer globaly).

Please answer via e-mail.
Thanks in advance.

Greetings from Vienna/Austria
