    There are some further differences that I have learned form taking my
    computer science class.
    Borland Pascal can not deal with an input into a case statement that is
    not covered.  With Turbo it just flows right through or is handled by a
    else statement if included.
    Turbo Pascal has short circuit Boolean evaluation, and Borland Pascal dose
    not.

                            That all that I know

I don't know about this but...

Yes it does!! Look in the menu Options/Compiler/Boolean evaluation!!

    Both point are definitely wrong.
    (1) The language itself has no difference at all, including the
        case statement in any aspect.
    (2) short circuit boolean evaluation is a 'standard' feature in
        borland's pascal language.  So is available in all package.

    In fact, with Borland pascal package, you get everything that
    Turbo Pascal has.
