- Well, I guess I've got all the responses that I'm going to get - 2 of them!
- My request was for a good TPW book. Here are the two responses I got.
-
- The first said:
- From: overmyer@netcom.com (Doug Overmyer)
-
- > The Bantam "Turbo Pascal for Windows" by Tom Swan is best intro. The Neil
- > Rubenking book "Turbo Pascal for Windows Techniques and Utilities" is a fine
- > intermediate book (Ziff Press). Both are worth the money.
- > Doug
-
- The second:
- From: clk@wg.estec.esa.nl (Claus Kjaergaard)

-
- > Well, I found "Turbo Pascal for Windows 3.0 Programming" by Tom Swan to be
- > very good. It is published by Bantam Books Inc, ISBN 0-553-35293-8.
- > Additionally I have "Turbo Pascal for Windows BIBLE" by Gary Entsminger,
- > but I found it to be if not useless then of very little help. Ok, if you
- > don't own the TPW manuels then..., but of course you do.
- > Good Luck

- To allay everyone's fears - I own TPW 1.0 and have all disks and manuals,
- just wanted a book with good examples.
-
- I ended up buying the book by Swan and have found it quite good so far.
- Only one problem: He has a lot (>50) programs that you (the reader) need
- to type in yourself. There is an option to order a disk with all of
- the code on it allready. Has anyone bought this disk? If so, could
- you e-mail me so that I could get a copy of the text listings?
-
- PLEASE - Save my fingers and protect me from Carpol Tunnel Syndrome (sp). :)

- Thanks again,
