## A QuickStart Guide from Borland Pascal to GNU Pascal.

This chapter is intended to be a QuickStart guide for programmers who are familiar with Borland Pascal.

Throughout the manual, we talk of "Borland Pascal" or "BP" for short, to refer to Borland Pascal version 7 for Dos protected mode. Other versions of Borland Pascal and Turbo Pascall don't differ too much, but this one was the very last Dos version Borland has published, so in most if not all cases, you can safely substitute the version you're familiar with.
