turbo pascal on XP

Is anyone running Turbo Pascal, Version1.5 on a XP machine? I can't
get the debugger to run - error message refers to 16 bit driver of a
pointing device. Any suggestions?

Cancel my previous statement; I didn't notice the version number.

Turbo Pascal 1.5 is really Turbo Pascal for Windows v1.5, which does
not run on anything other than Windows 3.x.

This is TOTALLY incorrect! IDE, command line compiler, and produced
applications run happily under WIN98 and Win2000 (verified), and I bet
also under Win95. Here a log of a sample tpcw build of hello.pas

uses
wincrt;
begin
writeln('Hello world from TPW1.5');
end.


C:\TMP>ver

Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]

C:\TMP>p15 hello

C:\TMP>tpcw -b hello
Turbo Pascal for Windows Version 1.5 Copyright (c) 1991,92 Borland.

I would suggest you get a later version of Turbo Pascal, preferably
Borland Pascal, or get a program that will allow you to boot several
different operating systems and install Win98 as one of them.

Turbo pascal 1.5 was a Windows version. It is approximately the same as
the Windows compiler that came with the Borland Pascal V7 package.
