Col, Embarcadero Delphi <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embarcadero_Delphi> (formerly CodeGear Delphi and Borland Delphi) developed Delphi and was acquired by Borland initially and has again split off from Borland. It is now the successor of Borland Pascal <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borland_Pascal> and Turbo Pascal <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_Pascal> product line. It encompasses Win16 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_API#Versions> (Delphi 1), Win32 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_API#Versions> (Delphi 2 and later), and the .NET 1.x, 2.0 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_Framework> (Delphi 8, Delphi 2005–Delphi 2007). Support for .NET is a separate product known as Oxygene.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embarcadero_Delphi http://www.embarcadero.com/products/delphi Delphi XE is the most recent version and is distributed in four different editions: Starter, Professional, Enterprise and Architect On Embarcadero website: Free Delphi Earlier Versions Buy Delphi XE and get earlier versions 7, 2007, 2009 and 2010 at no extra charge <http://www.embarcadero.com/products/delphi/previous-versions> They do have free trials and beta programs but no obvious support for education or support for pre Version 7. On September 6, 2006 The Developer Tools Group (the working name of the not yet spun off company) of Borland Software Corporation released single-language versions of Borland Developer Studio, bringing back the popular *Turbo* name. The Turbo product set includes Turbo Delphi for Win32, Turbo Delphi for .NET, Turbo C++, and Turbo C#. Each version available in two editions: *Explorer*—a free downloadable version—and *Professional* * * So Explorer versions of Delphi 6 should still be available for use. Brothersoft http://www.brothersoft.com/downloads/delphi-programming.htmlstill lists downloads for previous versions, including verions 6 and states it is free, but unfortunately it links back to https://downloads.embarcadero.com/free/delphi which is a free trial of XE However a bit of exploration and it does seem to still exist at Embarcadero http://software-files-l.cnet.com/s/software/10/99/80/93/download_delphi.html?e=1300699551&h=e48eac4c2e873a2beb61c77f71bef914&lop=link&ptype=1900&ontid=2212&siteId=4&edId=3&spi=cdb3ddecc912a434e42f041405062119&pid=10998093&psid=10038359&fileName=download_delphi.htmlbut access to the files is not available. "Turbo Delphi 2006, Turbo C++ 2006, and JBuilder Turbo 2008 are no longer available. You can download a free 30-day trial version of the latest Delphi, C++Builder, and JBuilder products and learn more about them using the links below. Any user who previously downloaded one of these older Turbo products and needs to find their serial number to reinstall can do so at Member Services<https://members.embarcadero.com/> by choosing My Registered Products. *Educational Usage:* Embarcadero offers academic discounts on products for educational use including individual licenses, lab licenses, and academic site licenses. Please contact your Embarcadero representative for details and pricing. If you have a class planned for the current term that requires a Turbo product, and you can’t change to the latest version, please contact your Embarcadero representative<http://www.embarcadero.com/company/contact-us> for assistance." http://turboexplorer.com/downloads While it may exist elsewhere in the wild, obvious links from C-Net, Brothersoft etc. only point back to links within Embarcadero and they have closed off access to these or redirected them to their current trial. You could try contacting them directly and see how you go, or find someone with the CD or files to share. While there are still a lot of references to version 6 being free, how that may now be interpreted by Embarcadero and more importantly IT managers without current documentation verifying this could be interesting, regards Jason On 21 March 2011 12:57, Col Thompson <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > > > Does anyone have a site where we can download a free version (old one) of > Delphi – I used to have Delphi 2006 I think it was that was available from > an APC cover CD but cannot find it. > > > > *Regards* > > > > *Col Thompson* > > Director of Information Services > > ------------------------------------------ > > Whitsunday Anglican School > > Mackay, QLD > > REALITY.SYS corrupted: Reboot universe?
