#BORLAND C 3.1 FOR DOS GENERATOR#
same kid who wrote a D&D character generator (didn't we all?) Of course, his worked by generating random numbers, and then applying a huge bunch of If statements to make sure that the abilities matched the class you wanted, and if they didn't, it would start over. :) (Numbers from memory! Don't anybody flame me and tell me they're wrong!)

I looked at his code, found a bug, reran it - sure enough, 50. He ran it, there were 52, he was depressed and left. my friend who wrote a parser in TurboPascal to count the words in Green Eggs and Ham, because he'd heard that there were exactly 50. Being system administrator, I would go in and correct their spelling. the kids who would write out text letters into pascal files, then tell each other their passwords so that they could pass notes. (1984-1987, during which time we moved from Apples and TRS-80s to a Novell network of PCs. (I've got my old graphics libraries working in C and SVGALIB now, I got plasma and color-cycling to work, so I'm happy. I'll have to compare it to my own porting efforts. (TP7.0 did it right, but TP5.5 started it, I think) However, I just got a copy of the new version of Free Pascal, and it looks like it might do a good job under Linux. If I remember correctly, TP5.5 started supporting OOP in Pascal, which I loved. :)Īlso, I have a lot of old Pascal code I've been porting for sentimental reasons. If anyone asks you, Borland gave it to you. They both run flawlessly under DOSEmu, as far as I can tell, so my Linux-only environment is safe. If you ever wanted to back-port something to DOS, or compile something with Borland extensions, here's an easy answer. Why, you say? Well, it's a perfectly good, free DOS development environment.

#BORLAND C 3.1 FOR DOS INSTALL#
Now I'm going to bring it home, and install it. I did this, and they both fit on a 1.44MB disk, with some room left over (enough for a copy of rar, say.
#BORLAND C 3.1 FOR DOS ARCHIVE#
nice feature, that) and then archive the installation with a real archiver like RAR. My advice for distribution (for personal use, of course.) is to unzip these without expanding the directories (just use pkunzip, if you have it), install it (since the filenames are unique, it won't look for the other disks. I don't know the legalities of this, but I just downloaded the zip files for TP 5.5 and TC 2.01. The old Borland is back, I was wondering what was going to happen when they changed to Inprise.

The compile+run time is so fast, I did it three times before realizing I had to switch to user window to see the output!

Maybe I should say that in my resume "Been programming for ten years".Īnyways, I just downloaded the beast, and sure enough, it runs great on NT. (global-set-key 'copy-region-as-kill) F7 is Copy (global-set-key 'advertised-undo) F5 is Undo (global-set-key 'kill-buffer) F4 is Close (global-set-key 'split-window-vertically) delete is real delete, not freaking backspace I've learned 2 languages or environments a year every year, gotten married, bought an old church to rennovate and had a kid. I've taken companies public and ridden some of the hottest stocks in the industry. I've been a development manager at Dell, Tivoli and Motive. Within 6 months I'd written a bunch of useful C programs and got myself promoted into the engineering dept.ġ1 years later I'm the Director of Technology for CyberPlex USA, an internet technology company.
#BORLAND C 3.1 FOR DOS MANUAL#
I taught myself enough C with the TurboC manual to get hired into Dell tech support. I was an out of work archealogist/musician in 1988, trying to get a real job at the tiny upstart PC's Limited (soon to be renamed Dell Computers :-) I had no computer experience except for some basic electronics hobby activity and my Sinclair ZX-80 (not the Timex-Sinclair, I'm talking 4K ROM, 1K RAM mail order from England white shell model.) My band mate loaned me a 8088 PC and I sold enough plasma to buy TurboC.
