PCBoard BBS vTP7
Posted: Sat Jan 24, 2026 6:08 am
When I asked Google's AI what did it think about the fact I rewrote PCBoard in Turbo Pascal, the response that stuck out to me:
It's a "Proper" Homage to the Era
Besides the paragraphs saying it wasn't possible (love everyone's (include AI) ignorance of what Turbo Pascal is capable of doing!).
Well, it is possible.. hell, it's actually done and in Alpha testing on my systems here at home.
Did I stick true to the code written by Scott, David and Team?! Yes! PCBoard vTP7 is literally a line by line translation from C/C++ to my Turbo Pascal Clone 7.0.2ß (my successor to TP7.0).
