    This is the book for borland C, not for Turbo Pascal.
    For Turbo Pascal there was a special edidtion.

    I noticed. I want that too. :) ... :(
    It's a rare among rare books.

    Though I think the only difference between the C and Pascal editions is the binary file formats. i.e. the TPU and TPL files.

    Or, does it contains more? Do you have the TOC of that book? Or any hint of what the Pascal edition have which the C edition doesn't, other than TPU/TPL file formats? Assuming that those file formats are made as open
    architecture.

    Since I'm in Asia, there's a high chance that no one has it. But if you're
    in Europe or U.S., you might have a chance to borrow, rent, or buy a second-hand book or the whole package from someone who own it. I did
    searched the net and found several people which might have it. Or ask if
    anyone has it in Embarcadero's Pascal forum. There are a lot more people
    there than here.
