I too found some old floppies a few months back and one contained the Turbo Pascal source code for a map editor I wrote for the original Rockford game on the PC.
I fired up Turbo Pascal in a DOS box on Windows 10 and got the code to compile. Sadly, I don't have the game any more and the 'Rockford' available online is actually a remake / emulation using a different game engine and the maps are in a different format.
Code here for anyone who wants to laugh at my skills as a non-programmer:

PS: Does anyone here have a copy of the original Rockford game!!??

- linker3000 10y agoThanks - sadly that's the version that uses the other game engine and is not the original version.
- linker3000 10y agoPS: My other 'proper' TP programs were a staff time management and reporting app, a materials control system and a file upload program for a Stag device programmer - it took a PROM/EPROM/PAL/GAL binary or hex file in whatever format you had, identified the format, parsed it for checksum and file errors, set the Stag programmer device and file parameters (which saved a LOT of time and avoided setup errors), uploaded the file, verified the upload and programmed & verified the device. At one point, Stag came down and checked over the code with a view to making it their stock program but I think things became too complex when legal got in the loop.
