Borland Turbo Pascal 7.0 DOS Problems

Heya Guys,

With the help I received I was able to complete the problem that I had
previously asked about.  THANKS!

NEXT. . .. .

I have Turbo Pascal 7.0 Configured to run in a DOS Window - Several
advantages being that I use the mouse and switch between windows.

I have two problems.

First - Whenever I print it prints each section of the program on a
different page  (I.e.. . .Program, VAR Statements, CONST Statements, the
FUNCTION line. . ..)  Resulting in my one short page program on like 12
different sheets of paper!  When I print at school I have no problem so it
must be a settings configuration problem.
(( I tried running the program strictly in DOS mode, but I lost mouse
control AND it wouldn't print at all - maybe no DOS printer driver
installed?? ))

Second - I would like to be able to cut and paste between my program in the
Pascal DOS Window and either MS Word or Outlook Express.  It would be nice
to be able to export my program text directly to this NG for input.

Let me know if you guys have any thoughts..  ..I will continue to work on
the solution myself.

Thanks Again in Advance!!

I suggest you look into DJGPP and GPC, together with RHIDE.  It
will look much the same as Turbo 7, but can actually do real
Pascal, together with most of the extensions of TP7.  The result
will meet all your requirements above.

Pascal sources are text files.  Print them from a text editor.
TEXTPAD is quite good, shareware, and cheap to register.  Wordpad
will do in a pinch, but is lame.

I will definately look into other Pascal compilers. . . I just use TP7
because it is what I use at school and I found it for free. I will do
research.  Thanks for the tip.

Just knowing that it is a text file (I should have assumed that it was).  ..
.I'll be fine.

Try the win32 variant of Free Pascal (www.freepascal.org). It will allow to
cut and paste, since the IDE is a win32 program, and generates win32 programs.

DOS windows do have cut & paste capabilities.  Note the 3 speedbuttons
just to the right of the screen format box.  You first click "mark",
highlight the text you want to copy, then click "copy".  the text is
now in the clipboard to use in other windows programs.  If you have
text in the clipboard, you can click "paste" and it will appear in the
DOS window.

You can copy and paste in a DOS window using the controls of the DOS
window itself, which at first seem a little strange.  This is
independent of the DOS application, and copy is limited to one DOS
screenful (I prefer 50 lines to 25); paste is unlimited.

You can save the program to file, open the file in any windows
editor/viewer, and use normal Windows techniques there.

Everybody had great ideas.  Thanks for the input.  I am now doing it with
