- pjmlp 3mo agoA customised mix of Turbo Pascal and MS-DOS 3.3 could fit in a 3.5 inch high density floppy, meaning 1.44 MB for the young folks. I know that because I used to carry one for use on high school computer lab. Then a couple others for programs.
- KellyCriterion 3mo agoVisual C++ was one CD + at least 2 x MSDN CDs Turbo Pascal for Windows: https://www.techspot.com/news/101067-turbo-pascal-celebrates-40-years-innovation-legacy-programming.html https://www.techspot.com/news/101067-turbo-pascal-celebrates... This was, IIRC, several floppy discs?
- pjmlp 3mo agoExcept you are talking about mid-90s already. TPW was about 7 disks, and when it got released, there were already 6 versions released for MS-DOS. Followed by Turbo Pascal 7 for MS-DOS still, with TPW being replaced with Delphi.
