A few more classics on BitSavers in the /pdf/borland tree
Posted by jpluimers on 2011/09/27
Hope you like these classics from the early Borland era:
- The 1985 Turbo Pascal Version 3.0 Reference Manual
- Jan 1985 Turbo Tutor_Version_1.0: a Self-Study Guide on Turbo Pascal
- Jun 1987 Borland Byte Ad on Eureka: The Solver
- Aug 1988 Borland Byte Ad on the Adventures of Turbo Man
- Nov 1988 Borland Byte Ad on Turbo Pasal 5.0, Turbo Debugger 1.0 and Turbo C 2.0
Oh, and if you – like me – started in the Apple ][ and Lisa era, there are lots of nice documents of Apple products from that period to, for instance:
- http://bitsavers.org/pdf/apple/lisa/
- http://bitsavers.org/pdf/apple/apple_II/
- Mar 1983 Softech UCSD p-System IV for Apple II (covering Pascal and Basic) and Mar 1980 USCD Pascal Maintenance News Vol 1 No 1 on http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/softech/

Jeroen, the 2 last ads were in 1988 and not 1998… thanks for all the links, they are making me feel nolstagic :) … oh, and look at how their pricing strategy was, as compared to Microsoft’s ;)

Fixed the typos, thanks! And yes, pricing strategies back then were totally different. Incomes too :)

I especially liked the Eureka/Turbo Pascal ad: “Macintosh version also available”… so it took only ~23 years to bring Delphi (XE2) back to the Mac?! ;-)
