The Wiert Corner - irregular stream of stuff
KMorwath said
There is a mistake about “Borland Pascal”, “Turbo Pascal” and “Turbo Pascal for Windows”. When version 7 was realeased, Borland made two SKUs. One was TurboPascal 7, which only included the standard DOS compiler, although it had two IDEs, one running with a DOS extender and one without. Borland Pascal 7 included the standard DOS compiler, one able to target a DOS extender (and with “DLL” support), and TurboPascal for Windows – which IIRC was released earlier as a standalone product.

That is totally true, thanks for that additional information.
The release order was like this:
– Turbo Pascal 6
– Turbo Pascal for Windows 1.0
– update for Turbo Pascal for Windows 1.0 (I’m not sure if that update had a different version number)
– Turbo Pascal for Windows 1.5
– Turbo Pascal 7.0 with only the DOS stuff and no DPMI support
– Borland Pascal 7.0 with DOS, DPMI (DOS Extender) and Windows support
– Turbo Pascal 7.01 and Borland Pascal 7.01
