GoKawiilRetrospective revisits Borland's Turbo Pascal 7 and its Windows 3.1-era impact
A developer retrospective examines Borland's Turbo Pascal 7, also called Turbo Pascal for Windows 1.5, describing it as the final and most advanced release in the Turbo Pascal line before Borland moved on to Delphi. The piece recalls the product's integrated source-level debugging, its affordable 'book licensing' model with no copy protection, and its use for building real applications like medical imaging software on Windows 3.1.
