A lot of people asked me to put on my site the distributives of that IDE (Integrated Development Environment) which I use in my work. The satisfaction of these demands were troubled by some aspects. First of all, the Borland distributives are not free and I'm put my hosting on trial. The secont point is the limit of download speed from narod.ru. The download of 10 Mb can take about 30 min of time. The last one was the my unwillingness to waste time for this ungrateful work. But now you can download, install and use the next distributives: Borland C++ 3.1, Borland Pascal 7.0. All of them you can download on this page.
My old flame DOS platform. 20 Mb of distributives. Download, unpack, install.
