Make a copy of the distribution disk to a fresh system disk. 2. Start TINST and select S for Screen installation. 3. Select your terminal from the menu. 4. Exit from TINST and start TURBO. 5. Type Y for Yes and R for Run. 6. Answer: "CALC" and press The compiler will now compile the file CALC.PAS. The object code is placed directly in memory and executed immediately.

A: Please read the manual. Q: Is TURBO an interpretor like UCSD? A: No, it generates ultra-fast machine code. Q: Do I need the TURBO system to run programs developed in TURBO Pascal? A: No, make a .COM or .CMD file. Q: How many lines of code can the compiler handle. A: No limit (The object code, however, cannot excede 64 KB) Q: How many significant digits does TURBO support in floating point? A: 11. Q: Whù dï É geô garbagå oî thå screeî wheî startinç thå TURBO editor? A: You have not installed TURBO for your system. Q: What do I do when I run out of space using the editor? Aº Spliô youò sourcå codå (seå manuaì $É directive.) Q: What do I do when I run out of space while compiling? A: Use the $I directive and/or generate a .COM or .CMD file. Q: How do I make a .COM or .CMD file? A: Type O from the main menu then type C. Q: What do I do when the compiler generates too much code? A: Read the appendicies about compiler switches and .CHN files. Q: Does TURBO Pascal support overlays? A: No, but ask Borland about Borland Pascal... Q: Does TURBO Pascal support the 8087 chip? A: No, but ask Borland about Borland Pascal... .pa Š ----------------------------------------------------------------- A SPECIAL NOTE TO CONCURRENT CP/M USERS ----------------------------------------------------------------- Yoõ maù havå noticeä thaô somå programó eató alì youò memorù sï that you can not run programs concurrently under CCP/M.
