Subj : Acquiring Turbo Pascal 7.0

I learned Pascal around 1986 using an Apple II computer, as part of an overall 
2-year CIS major at an Junior College.  After that, I never was taught Pascal 
again at school.  I have recently started learning Pascal again, and would like 
to acquire a full package of Turbo Pascal v7.00 for DOS that includes 
distribution disks, and manuals.  But I don't wish to pay full price to 
Borland/Imprise for something that they don't support any longer.  

And when they (Borland) refuse to permanently fix the RTE200 - Divide by Zero 
issue - by releasing updates of the TP7/BP7 programs to all registered users, I 
believe that qualifies as lack of support.  At any rate, would appreciate 
pointers to software firms online that sell such programs at discount price.  I 
used to know of a company called Surplus Software, but lost track of how to 
find them again.

And recommendations on the best Pascal reference books for relearning the 
language on your own, outside of a college classroom.  Those would be 
appreciated also.  Thanks, Donald Tidmore. http://www.lordlegacy.org/camelot/
