I doubt these are still supported, or even worth using--there are way better compilers out now that are of much greater use. ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert Montowski <mailto:r_montowski@xxxxxxxxx> To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2009 6:01 PM Subject: 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
