Distribution Disk? I don't believe I have one of those

Salut Jeremy;

I am writing directly to avoid misunderstandings ... By stating in an
international usergroup that you do not have the distribution disks,
you are
effectively announcing that you have not purchased your copy of BP7.
This
is dangerous for your reputation.

The distribution disks are the original purchase disks; BP7 comes on
~10
disks, with MANY examples. I will give the benefit of the doubt, and
presume that you are in a school, and that the school has purchased
BP7, but
has not installed all of the files for you to look through. If this
is the
case, complain LOUDLY to whoever installed the BP7 system, because the
files
that you need are given exactly for this sort of problem : helping
people
learn. If this is not the case, and you are running an illegal copy of
BP7,
I hope that you get caught as soon as possible, and please do not use
the
newsgroups to assist you !

Best wishes.

I don't have TP 7.0 because I have a MAC & am unable to find it. MY
highschool is the one who has it, I believe they did buy it, but I
don't know if they have the distribution disk, I guess I must ask my
programming teacher ( Ms.Clark is an old WITCH!). Why did you say I
can't use the newsgroup anymore? that is where I find alot of help for
my assignments, all i wanted to know is how a WIndows program works.do
I have to have TP 7.0 on my own computer to use this newsgroup?

Right, I did not write the original response to which you comment, but I
have been watching this thread. I also got the impression that you
probably were using an illegal copy. This is obviously wrong, you need
to be carefull saying things like "I dont have distribution disks", the
people who subscribe to this group mostly have paid good money for their
copy of pascal, and will not help when they suspect people are using
illegal copies. There are a lot of requests for information in this
group that are covered in the manual and thus must be lead to believe
that they do not have legit. copies.
Noboady can tell you not to use the newsgroup (even if you do not have a
legit copy), but they can refuse to help. Be carefull not to give the
impression that you are using a pirate copy and everything will be cool.

BTW : is is really wise to call your teacher "an old WITCH", errm if she
does not read the group there is a good chance someone she knows does
:)), your next set of marks may be surprisingly low :)
