[TRLog] The end of MS-DOS as we know it

[Thomas M. Schaefer]

I think this is all academic, but for what it is worth...

I suspect alot of the pascal algorithms will port to Delphi nicely. The
screen handling code is probably the biggest thing to worry about. The
serial code would need a new foundation, but the message formats would be
the same. Having TR in Turbo Pascal while not making it easier, does make
the port to Delphi easier than having to totally rewrite it.

I am not saying it is easy or should be done, just speculating since I
program in Delphi for a living.
