How to learn TurboVision

---

Q. 102 Which books cover TurboVision?

• Carlos Sotolongo (csoto@tinored.cu) was fairly enthusiastic about the following book, here his message:

  Look for Borland Pascal Developers Guide, written by Ed Mitchell and Published by QUE Books. I think is the best book about TV and Turbo Pascal 7.0 you can find in the market. It comes with a companion disk including source code and utilities like a string resource compiler and a programmers editor, among others.

  I've seen other users recommend this book too, although I've not read it myself.

• PC Techniques recommends Programming with Turbo Vision by Blake Watson. You can order it from Bookstream with your credit card. Call 800-410-0192 or 602-483-0192. Or fax to 602-483-0193. It is also very favorably reviewed i n the February/March 1995 issue of The Pascal Magazine (issue 5).

• The following might be of more interest for our German readers. It was recommended by Donald Moe.

  Borland Pascal / Turbo Pascal 7.0 Turbo Vision
