info.borland.com/devsupport/pascal/ info.borland.com/pascal/pascalnet.htmlFrom www.taoyue.com/tutorials/pascal/compilers.html The two main open-source compiler projects are: * GNU Pascal http://www.gnu-pascal.de/gpc/h-index.html * Free Pascal http://www.freepascal.org/"Free Pascal is generally considered friendlier for novices, and strives to emulate Borland Pascal in many ways, though both will serve fine for learning Pascal." Downloads are available at http://www.freepascal.org/download.var The latest release is 2.2.0. "Win32, Win64 and WinCE (Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, Vista)" and other platforms.Also found on the web else where is BR.rar and Borland.rar, but these are ver7 in a Dos GUI package.I still like the GUI of WIN ver 1.5 with color highlights.

Downloaded VMWare today (vmware.com) and thought what now - ahhh - install freedos and turbo pascal 5.5 ;-). Somewhat of a nostalgia trip - I learnt to program in this about 15 years ago.
