Can I use these?

As I am having some repair work done in my house I needed to get organized and 
clean up so to speak.
While picking up/storing/cataloging CD's and DVD's that I had stacked up in my 
computer room I found the following software...
I seem to recall buying them at a yard sale back when I still had a little bit 
of sight.
The original owner was a programmer but left this field after having some major 
accident.
I bought them thinking one day I might wish to try some more serious 
programming also.
Back then I was just doing GW Basic.
the titles are:
Borland C Plus Plust V5.0
Borland Pascal V7.0
Borland Turbo Assembler 5.0

Were these programs meant to be used under Windows or Dos?
Can they still be used under Windows XP?
I can't find the books that I know came with the CD's.
is it possible to find this documentation online?
Did the books contain the serial numbers I might need?
Any help you can offer will be appreciated.
Thanks
Robert
