- GLOCKENSPIEL TURBO PASCAL(TM)-TO-QUICKC(TM) TRANSLATOR
- VERSION 1.0
- README.DOC
-
- Each programming language has its own unique features and strengths.
- And many of you have indicated an interest in converting TurboPascal
- programs to C, to take advantage of C's speed and flexibility !!
-
- Microsoft hopes that this Turbo Pascal-to-QuickC Translator will make
- what could be an onerous task as fast and as easy as possible.
-
- And QuickC's fast compiler (running at 10,000 lines a minute on a PC AT)
- will make the development of the resultant C code a snap.
- QuickC's integrated environment, with built-in source-level debugger
- and on-line help, is perfect for both novices and pros to quickly
- and easily develop applications.
-
- And, of course, because of the complete compatibility between QuickC
- and Microsoft's C 5.0 Optimizing Compiler, both Microsoft
- compilers can be used to compile your C code, to get the fastest
- compilation rate or the fastest execution speed.
-
- The program is designed for legal Turbo Pascal programs, written
- with TurboPascal version 3.0 or earlier. It even converts all the
- graphics routines.
-
- Best of all, the translator is absolutely free !!
-
- Microsoft is providing the translator on bulletin boards and sending it
- to user groups and to anyone that calls us and asks for it.
-
- Please feel free to make as many copies you like, and pass it on
- to anyone that you think might like a copy !!
-
- Please read HOWTO.DOC for details on the translator and instructions
- on how to convert your Turbo Pascal programs and then compile the
- output with Microsoft QuickC.
-
-
- Your Suggestions
- ================
-
- Due to the unique nature of the translator, Microsoft will be providing
- a different level of support than we provide for our retail products.
-
- We are very interested in your feedback on the translator. We would
- prefer, however, that rather than calling our technical support
- department that you write to us at:
-
- Microsoft Corporation
- 10611 NE 36th Way
- Box 97017
- Redmond, WA 98073-717
-
- ATTN: WYGCL - Turbo Pascal Translator
-
- with any suggestions on the documentation, the translator, or any
- problems that you encounter. In the latter case, if you supply
- a small program on disk that illustrates the situation, we
- would be very grateful.
-
- You will immediately be sent a form letter that acknowledges that
- Microsoft has received your letter.
-
- Periodically, Microsoft will review all of the suggestions.
