 Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 2:09 pm Post subject: Update from DOS TP5 to ? |
 |
|
I haven't written any code for many years. Recently ran some old DOS TP5
programs in Win ME. Programs are all number crunchers. Programs ran fine, but
the X-Y plotted graphs do not print. There is just a blank spot in the
printout where the graphics should be. The text portions print OK.
Is there a new graphics TPU that can be used in a DOS program that will print
to an ink jet printer?
Do I need to get a windows version of Turbo Pascal?
If so, will converting the old code be a time consuming job.
I am the only one who uses these programs.

i think you better move onto Delphi. |
in any case, your problem most likely is the
use of the CRT unit doing direct video writes.
which is faster of course.

Thanks for the reply. I can't quite convince myself to learn another |
programing language. Heck, I can't covince myself to write more code in a
language I used to know.
I took the easy way out. I resurrected an old Dot Matrix printer and ran the
programs in a DOS boot system. As it turns out, The programs will run in
windows ME with the Dot Matrix printer connected, except that the the last line
of the printout which is a page feed only does a line feed. Not a real problem
even if I didn't have a DOS boot system.
