Hello,

Recently I read the news that Borland is releasing a new TPascal for
Windows 3.0 development on March 18, 1991.

I'm wondering does anyone has the chance to examine and test it?
If yes, what's your opinion on it, in comparison to Borland C++ 2.0?

How are its documentations? do we still need to purchase MicroSoft's
SDK reference manuals in order to do Windows 3.0 programming?

Also, is it a superset of TP 6.0 or simply a repackaging of the old version
for Windows programming?

Finally, what's ObjectWindows? is it a class library that is similar to
TurboVision, but for the use of Windows 3.0?

BTW, I also assume that the version will only generate Win3 codes, but not
DOS codes; Am I wrong??

Sorry to ask so many questions, but I need to know... :-)

Thank you in advance!
