Title: Turbo pascal problems
Post by: Jimmy BoyX on February 12, 2011, 09:36:00 pm

Hi, I'll start learning about programing but I can't run my Turbo Pascal 7.0
I have Windows 7 32 bits and when I try run Turbo Pascal I see black window about 1 sec and it closes. I can't read what is it wrong because it fast closes. Could you help me?
I run TP 7.0 from BIN/TURBO.exe

Thanks, Jimmy.

Maybe you should try something made for Windows and 32-bit instead of Turbo Pascal which was dropped in 1995. If you must use Pascal, use Delphi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embarcadero_Delphi).

I'd recommend C++ (http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial) though, and some free IDE like Code::Blocks (http://www.codeblocks.org) (comes with compiler too).

Just start dos prompt, and run programs from there.
Fastest way was [ WIN+R, type "cmd" ] under WinXP, i hope 7 have it too :)

A program used before you time, most likely.. Enabled one to create incredible games like ......tron, or SNAKE!

You should try DevPascal since it has all needed libraries and it run smoothly under Win32 (also it includes nice library of docs files, which are very handy).
