: Printing in Delphi from a console application is done the same way as printing from a regular Delphi GUI (graphical user interface) application. But it might be difficult to make it run, because you have to figure out yourself which Delphi units have to be included in the USES-directive on top of the program.

: Anyhow, what is the advantage of writing a console application, when we have the sophisticated RAD-tool called Delphi? :)

You ask what is the advantage of writing a console application, when we have the sophisticated RAD-tool Delphi. I wish I could tell you why I am traveling this route with the console but the only thing that I can say is that I have thousands of lines of Turbo Pascal code that I have not been able to run in delphi. It is my hopes to find a way to revive my work using the Delphi Console but things have not worked out very well. (mainly a lack of information I guess?) --- I would like to be able to convert my previous work to Delphi but not having much luck so far.

Thanks for setting me straight about the Dos-Box.
If you have a suggestion on how I can convert my Turbo Pascal Tools to work in Delphi contact me by email. Thanks
