Mike,
There's LOTS of Turbo code all over the place in BBS's (and bunches in
archives at SIMTEL20 .. unfortunately an ARPAne host no longer accessible to
BITNET people, I understand). Suggest you sniff around local BBSs, find an
accessible FIDO (or OPUS or whatever it's called now) node, whatever, and
snarf some of the Turbo code lying about out there.  PC-BLUE public domain
disks also have tons of Turbo source, available from ACGNJ (Amateur Computer
Group of New Jersey) on floppies, and from other sources.  Also tons on the
PCSIG PD floppies (usually available via mail order for "nominal" charges).
Donno about the Turbo Pascal tutor from Borland .. never saw it run.  Did see
several other tutorial programs and text files around the Public Domain world,
but just started hacking myself when I got the Borland Turbo package.  Learned
from experience the peculiarities, advantages, disadvantages of Borland's code
myself and from other readings.
Good luck,
David Kirschbaum
