Recently, I have decided to release many of my ancient Turbo Pascal 7.0 source files to the general public as open source under the Mozilla Public license. These source files were written over 20 years ago and for the most part, have not been updated since. I do intend on making some minor modifications to several of the programs that have issues running on modern hardware. Mainly, this will be to swap out references to the Borland CRT unit for My QCRT unit. The Borland version crashes on modern computers with their very fast clock speeds.

These files may serve no real purpose in todays modern computing environments. However, you may find them useful as examples or even starting points for other projects. They are being provided AS-IS and I make no claim to there stability or usefulness for any purpose.

Generally, only the final version of each program, unit, include file, etc. will be provided. The main exception is, when a specific program requires a specific older version of the source to be able to compile, it will be included. I will also try and provide a brief description of what each of them does.

Anyway, this is a work in progress. Most of my old source files are jumbled about in nested directories and didn't include version numbers. Multiple copies of the same code. Backup copies. Missing units in projects. Over 20 years worth of migrating from one computer to another, I'm ammazed I still have nearly all of it. But, its a rats nest of source code. So, as I find time to weed through it, I plan to keep adding stuff.

Some of the stuff to come includes: Pre-Windows application launcher, Couple Games... and more Utilities.

Compiled versions of each program are located under the bin directory.
