Turbo Pascal question

I know this forums isn't really for Turbo Pascal, but Delphi is based off of Turbo Pascal.

I'm doing a research paper on the Turbo Pascal programming language. I need to make points on concurrency and exception handling in the language, even if the language does not support it. Does Turbo Pascal support either of these? I don't think it supports exception handling, but I am having a hard time finding information on either topic. Does anyone have any websites that I can use to cite as a source?

Thanks

Turbo Pascal 5.5 supported some OO programming, but not exceptions really IIRC. This is a feature list for Turbo Pascal 5.5
http://community.borland.com/articl...0,20803,00.html

Turbo Pascal 7.0 was replaced by Delphi 1, which has exceptions. Don't know if TP7 had any though.

I think exception handling first came with Delphi 2 which was the first 32bit Windows pascal from Borland. Delphi 1 was designed for the Windows 3.1 16bit enviroment. Runtime error's 216 (UAE) where very common when you develop with Delphi 1.
With Turbo Pascal for DOS you was able to install an error Handler for catching runtime error's. There was an error variable (IOResult?) for handling I/O-errors such as "File not existst"...
