Dear friends,
I have a programme that I prepared several years ago in turbopascal 7; finally I can be able to run it using xdos under linux, but I would like to improve the programme, first of all translating it to freepascal and then..... Nowadays I am mainly a linux user.

The problem is that this package uses several turbo pascal 7 units and, as you know, the binaries units don't work in freepascal.

My question is: are there source codes of the turbo pascal 7 units avalaible? or, at least, equivalent open source units? (turbo3.tpu, dos.tpu, cr.tpu....).

Where can I found they?

BTW, perhaps this question is already answered in the mailing-list archives but they are unreachables, a broken address?

Thanks in advance

FPC includes all standard TP7 units, except for turbo3. However, that one was simply a compatibility unit included with TP7 for use with old tp3 programs and its functionality should be available in other units (maybe under different names).
