Running Pascal on Windows 98 ( Another Pascal Required )
Hello , I am currently running Turbo Pascal Version 5 in work on a DOS machine .
I want to run this on my home machine but I keep getting errors ( vmm32.vxd errors ) due to booting into DOS mode.
Is there any Pascal that I can run on windows 98 that will allow me to do the same things as the Turbo Pascal I have in Work.
I am wanting something that will allow me to code at home and just bring it into work and load my code up there without any modification's required.

There is a really nice Pascal compiler that has an IDE that runs in windows and compiles code that will work in dos and or windows. Take a look at this link: http://www.tmt.com/
TMP Pascal is almost 100% portable between turbo pascal

I would suggest going to Borland's website, and downloading Turbo Pascal 5.0.. I had it, and was running it on Windows 98SE in a DOS Based window.. I didn't have to reboot into DOS, just created a shortcut to the file, and added it to my Programs menu.
I also downloaded their Turbo Debugger, and TASM (Assembly language compiler).

agree with alwayssmiling, I never had a problem on ZindoZe compared to pure DOS
I wanted to add these two things also..
1) I was incorrect in the version.. I downloaded Turbo Pascal 5.5, but I don't think there's a big difference in the two of them.
2) I am currently running it on Windows 2000 Profesional, in a setup where I just click the shortcut icon on my desktop. THe only problem I have (and I know there's a fix for it) is that I can't use my mouse in there..

Batch file instead of running the turbo pascal executeable.
Get hold of the ctmouse driver.
http://cutemouse.sourceforge.net/
That'll be the first line in the batch file.
The second line will be the turbo pascal executeable.
That should do it.

To cromozon , i installed Borland pascal only to find out it does'nt carry a multi-tasking library.
Can the multi-task library form Turbo Pascal 5 be added to Borland Pascal , and WORK .. If so whta is the library file , and what do i do with it.

There is no multi task library included with Turbo Pascal.
Here are links to units that you can use to multi task

multithread, not multitask, right ?
