- If you're willing to limit yourself to DOS, there are 4 in common use now:
- TP 5.5, 6.0, 7.0 and 7.0 protected mode. If you want your code to be
- available to people programming for Windows, there are two more (TPW 1.5 and
- BP 7.0 windows mode). These are the common ones; there are also a few other
- people using other versions because of budget limitations or other special
- reasons.
-
- Then there are the persistent rumours of 32 bit versions of TP coming out
- sometime next year - your old .TPU files would certainly be incompatible
- with those.
-
- I don't think it's feasible any more to include enough .TPU files to cover
- a majority of the market.
