- There are a number of executables in the package that'll run in that setup,
- but not all of them. I don't think the main IDE would run, for instance;
- you might be able to compile things with the command line version, but it's
- not certain.
-
- You do get the real mode versions of the compiler that come with TP 7;
- they'll run on your machine. However, it's a lot of money to spend for
- something that mostly won't work.
