Oh boy, just returned from a long vacation and find out they've renamed and
repackaged my favorite development tool?!
What I've been able to soak up so far:
- Turbo <Language> Explorer =
the old "Personal" editions (as in D6PE, D7PE),
Is free, but no VCL/RTL sources, & no extensibility.
- Turbo <Language> Pro =
<Professional Edition> (as in D6,7,2006 Pro).
What I have not found answers to:
(apologies if this has been answered officially elsewhere already,
but I have not been able to find any FAQs or detailed written
DevCo Q&A's on this).
1. Will there still be a Borland Developer Studio product?
If so, what does it offer that is not covered by
acquiring/installing N Turbo products on the same machine?
2. If BDS lives on, how do you explain/justify the difference
between "Turbo Delphi <Pro>" and "Delphi 200x <Pro>"?
3. Can I mix different SKU's on the same machine, e.g. one
Turbo Delphi Pro and one Turbo C++ Explorer?
4. Will the first Turbo Delphi Pro release contain any new/unique
features compared to Delphi 2006 Pro?
5. Can I use an Explorer-class product to recompile an
application with 3rd party components, provided that the
necessary .dcu's/.dcp's/.bpl's are available?
(accepting that I could not open/edit the 3rd-party
affected forms in the Form designer)
6. Not sure about this 'Turbo' name... according to some
statements,.Borland are primarily trying to score NEW
developers with this, while in fact they're only tickling the
nostalgia of the very oldest of Delphi/Borland veterans...??
