Welcome to the Turbo Pascal Reference, an electronic freeware book.  This
reference book is divided into ten chapters, providing detailed reference
information to Turbo Pascal 6.0, Turbo Pascal 7.0, Borland Pascal, and Turbo
Vision.  Chapter 1 contains information about this book, why it was created,
information regarding your right to copy this book, and a detailed outline of
the remaining chapters.

The contents of the book is stored as a self-extracting archive.  Run:
     TPR-BOOK.EXE to extract the TPR chapter text files, and the two
programs FIGURES.EXE and SOURCE.EXE.  The latter two programs are
self extracting archives containing illustrations and source code,
respectively.

The information in the book is stored as a standard ASCII text file.  You may
read it using any text editor program  If you wish, you can use the README.COM
program that comes with  Turbo Pascal and Borland Pascal to read these
chapters.  To use README.COM, copy README.COM from the appropriate Borland
directory (example \bp\readme.com) to the directory containing this book.
Then,type:

     readme tpr1.txt

to read chapter 1, contained in the file tpr1.txt.

You can use the readme utility to easily page forward or backwards through the
text and to rapidly search for keywords.

Please read Chapter 1 for important information about this electronic freeware
book, including the copyright notice and distribution rules (yes, you may copy
this free book), and disclaimers.  I have published my electronic mail address
in Chapter 1 in the event that you wish to contact me directly.

Thank you for reading the Turbo Pascal Reference.

Sincerely,
