New version of Turbo C++, free download

[japheth]

Hi Greg,

is there a file included which lists the differences between TASM 5.0 and TASM 5.3? If yes, could you please post it here! TASM is all I'm interested in (potentially), but downloading some hundred MB bloatware just to find out there hasn't changed anything in TASM, that's possibly not a good idea...

Regards

Japheth

Japheth,

I can't find a document from Turbo C++ 2006 that describes the differences between TASM 5.0 and TASM 5.3.

I did find the following in "Art of Assembly" 12.3 Programming in Delphi/Kylix and HLA

Fortunately, as of HLA v1.26, HLA provides an option to produce TASM output that is compatible with TASM v5.3 and later. Unfortunately, Borland doesn't really sell TASM anymore; the only way to get a copy of TASM v5.3 is to obtain a copy of Borlands C++ Builder Professional system which includes TASM32 v5.3. If you don't own Borland C++ and really have no interest in using C++ Builder, Borland has produced an evaluation disk for C++ Builder that includes TASM 5.3. Note that earlier versions of TASM32 (e.g., v5.0) do not support MMX and various Pentium-only instructions, you really need TASM v5.3 if you want ot use the MASM output.

According to this 5.3 added support for MMX and some other newer insructions, I would guess CMOV etc.

Hello,
It's not very difficult to have only the binaries of TASM.
Don't install the prereqs.zip.Launch the intaller , he will failed but put  unpacked files in the temp directory.
Edit (with orca) the main msi file (8 Mo).In the CustomAction table,delet the "Detect Prereq" fonction.
Launch the modify msi file,and you have now a complete bin directory where you can copy the needed executables for tasm.
below is a list of files to copy to a TASM directory.
I have tried to compiled a source (with an rc file) and it work.

A product which is free to download doesn't mean that it can be freely distributed by others.

[GregL]

trodon,

Well, I won't upload those files due to legality issues.

The downloaded .exe file can be opened with WinRAR (hint).

If you have been waiting for an email from Borland with registration info. Dont! Go to youre account on BDN, there you will finde the keys under Registred Software or somthing like that.

This is what the license says:

Borland is only willing to grant you this License if you obtained the Product from Borland or a Borland authorized reseller. If you obtained the Product from any other source you may not install or use the Product.

Pretty much says it all, I think.

Borland has re-released Turbo C++. The Explorer version is a free download. Meant to  compete with Visual C++ Express I guess. There is also Turbo Delphi and Turbo C#. They should bring back Turbo Assembler.

Turbo Explorer


Edit: It includes TASM32 version 5.3.

thankssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
