After five years of development,
Free Pascal 2.0 is ready. With the new compiler, its authors believe they are ready to become a larger open source development platform. In the MS-DOS world, Pascal was one of the major programming languages and is by means of Borland Delphi an important programming language in the Windows world. In the open source world, Free Pascal is the leading Pascal compiler and while open source is a bit biased using the C language, the Pascal language has a lot to offer to open source programmers.
Wow I remember using pascal in high school on old Apple IIe's with a CP/M card using a Z-80 processor addin. Clunky but it was good for learning something on....God knows this is better
