assistant: ** Quoting Fred Burgess to Benjamin Autin:
Since Fred replied to you first, I decided to give him the opportunity
to sell you his TP DOS.
If you want the DOS, not Windows, version, I have Turbo Pascal 7.0 for
DOS.  I have the manuals, disks, original packaging, etc.
I just checked CDW's and Provantage's websites.  They sell it for $96.80
and $92.80 respectively.  How does $45 sound?  Postage extra.
