 ;: The [IDE] was again written in !TurboVision, and again took advantage of its own compiler's new features by running on top of its [DPMI] driver. Besides the usual one running on [DOS] in text mode, there was another identical one for [OS/2] and also a native MicrosoftWindows [GUI] [IDE], any of which could compile binaries for any of the four target platforms ([DOS], [DPMI], [OS/2], and 16-bit MicrosoftWindows). A class library called OWL (Object Windows Library) to write native MicrosoftWindows applications was also included, and featured an optional new "chiseled steel" look for widgets (BWCC, the Borland Windows Common Controls) that was much prettier than the ''very'' drab [Windows] default. 
  
 * TurboPascal for [Windows] 1.0 came soon after. It was much lighter than Borland Pascal, including a [Windows] [IDE] and the OWL only. The compiler only produced [Windows] binaries. 
 * TurboPascal for [Windows] 1.5 was padded with lots of library and tool additions (nine diskettes instead of six..). 
-* From its next rendition on the language was officially named ObjectPascal. The current version of the [IDE] is called [Delphi] and was a MicrosoftWindows-only [RAD] system. It was very popular and hugely successful particularly in Germany.
