Welcome to the wiki.

We have a basic "compatibility database" here:

Development tools

Turbo Pascal

• Turbo Pascal 1, 2, 3: Works ok, no install required.
• Turbo Pascal 4: Works ok, no install required, simply copy all files to one folder (for example, tp40), and use EMU2_CWD='C:\TP40' emu2 tp40/turbo.exe
• Turbo Pascal 5.5 and 6.0: Works ok, install instructions in the README.md file. For example, to compile "TCALC.EXE", use EMU2_CWD='C:\TP\DEMOS\TCALC' emu2 tp/tpc.exe tcalc.pas /b
• Turbo Pascal 7.0: simpler install, as the bug in the installer was fixed, mostly works but the IDE keeps raising "memory errors". Command line compiler works, for example to compile "TVDEMO.EXE", use EMU2_CWD='C:\TP\EXAMPLES\TVDEMO' emu2 tp/bin/tpc.exe tvdemo.pas /b

Quick Basic

• QBASIC from DOS 5.0 and upwards: Works ok, no install required.

C Compilers

• Microsoft C 6.0: Works ok based on an installed directory dump. The directory dump is portable.
