Borland International Inc gave developers a sneak preview of Pascal language products at the Windows & OS/2 Conference last week: the company is preparing an upgrade to its Turbo Pascal development environment and is working on a fully object-oriented Pascal development tool, Borland Pascal with Objects, which will feature a library of objects for developing in both MS-DOS and Windows environments; that is expected to enter beta test next month, and the beta version of Turbo Pascal 7.0 will follow shortly after, with a commercial release planned by the end of the year; the primary difference between the new object-oriented Borland Pascal with Objects and the company’s existing Turbo Pascal for MS-DOS is that programmers will be able to use the new software to call objects from a library and write code that ties objects together into an application; Turbo Pascal 7.0 for MS-DOS will also have a Borland MS-DOS extender for protected mode running.
