- Thanks. Yes, you are right, I am using TURBO. TP7 must take up more room
- than TP6 did, because some of the things that I could compile and run
- under TP6 won't under TP7. It's kind of annoying to have to exit to DOS,
- TPC /m whatever, then go back in. Another problem is that the IDE will
- allow you to specity a list of subdirectories to search for TPU's but the
- command line compiler doesn't recognize that list. I have to copy the
- TPU's from all over into the current subdirectory to get TPC to work.
