Turbo De{word81} and W95

I use TPW 1.5
Is it possible to use Turbo De{*word*81} with W95 ?

Thanks.

Yes, it is.
I tried it, but there were many problems:
- There is a message: Windows recommends downloading a newer version
(where?). Clicking it away shows other problems.
- Screen will not be restored correctly (so I must use a newer graphix
driver, then it worked)
- DON'T USE THE MOUSE IN TDW! Moving the mouse seems to corrupt data (moved
often -> TDW crashes (You CAN'T quit TDW by Ctrl-Alt-Del, you HAVE to
reboot!)
So, if you need it, do it.

The de{*word*81} (TPW1.5) works under Win95 with a small patch: "tdsvga.zip".

It can be found here:
ftp://ftp.borland.com/pub/otherprod/devsupport/misc/tdsvga.zip

or use :
http://ftpsearch.ntnu.no/ftpsearch
and search for : TDSVGA.ZIP

How to install the patch:

You must only have one TDW.INI file , and it must be located
in your \windows directory (ie. no tdw.ini in the \tpw directory)

The TDW.INI file must look like this :
----------------------clip
[TurboDe{*word*81}]
VideoDLL=C:\TPW\TDWGUI.DLL
De{*word*81}DLL=C:\TPW\TDWINTH.DLL
----------------------clip

If your \tpw directory is d:\tpw15 then
The TDW.INI file must look like this :
----------------------clip
[TurboDe{*word*81}]
VideoDLL=D:\TPW15\TDWGUI.DLL
De{*word*81}DLL=D:\TPW15\TDWINTH.DLL
----------------------clip

You can read about all this stuff in the readme.
file in the TDSVGA.ZIP archive.
