:) I started off with TP 1 for DOS 1 back in 1985. I have used every version of
Turbo Pascal and later on switched over to Delphi. Turbo Delphi is free and is
equally good. I still use old style file handling functions in Delphi (Object
Pascal).

BTW, my favorite is TP 3.x - all versions. I still have TP 3.x on my computer
and I use it to teach my daughter Pascal programming.

You can also check out Morfik (www.morfik.com). They have a Web Development
environment, AJAX and all. There is a free personal version which most TP and
Delphi guys love as it uses Delphi's Object Pascal.

One of my favorite TP tricks was in date validation. I would just store the
system date, then push in user entered date into a few registers and call an
interrupt function. If it was successful, you knew the date was valid. If it
returned an error in one of the registers, you could display an Invalid date
message. Finally, you would set the system date back.

I am soon starting a project where we have to move TP code on DOS to Delphi. I
know I will enjoy working on that project.

It makes me feel happy that there are still old timers out there who love TP.

Long Live TP
