	No, as for the versions up to v5.5 they cannot create .obj files 
because Borland thought that the .OBJ format was inherently slow so they 
created the .TPU format that is what makes TPv5.5 so much faster.

>Can one call TP routines from turbo C?

	Yes, you can when you are doing mixed language programming... (now
the proverbial...) BUT, when you use the C routines you must realize that you
cannot access any of the Standard Library routines as they are compiled.  When
You use the mixed language programming capabilities of the C language (Turbo)
it ignores case and so it cannot recognize the Standard Library functions. 
Also, when you make 'pascal' functions in C you cannot use variable argument
lists.s

	Louis.
