- Comparing the TP versions, they are roughly the same, though the Turbo Vision
- appears to have gone through some rewriting. It was more understandable.
-
- Page numbers are slightly different as well.
-
- Either way, they are a great reference material.
-
- BP is another beast all together. I dont recall the exact number, but there
- are roughly 18 inches of manuals (unless I had TP7 and BP7 stacked..i'llhave
- to double check). In BP7 you get the similar versions to TP but with more
- references to the BP product. You also get Object Windows, Turbo Debugger
- Turbo Profiler, Turbo Assembler, Resource Workshop and a couple of others.
-
- BP is worth every penny for the upgrade. [Especially if you bought TP6 after
- August 26(?) and can qualify for the free upgrade to BP7. :) ]
