Turbo Pascal has evolved to Turbo Delphi. Pricetag a bit high though at $400. :-( MS-Windows only.
Correction. There is an Explorer version (which appears rich enough) that

Once, I actually wrote some code. Not an awful lot, and not as my prime occupation, but I actually _wrote_ code, and compiled it. I did not "drag and drop" stuff, and when Visual Basic and Delphi came along I knew I was out of the game. I still have a Kylix disk, somewhere, but it might as well be Chinese. I never learned C, or C++, so I guess that I will never code again. Well, I'm retired, and I really don't have to anymore. Besides, anything anyone needs to calculate anymore is done by people who understand Excel. Phooey!
I took courses for C, Pascal, BASIC and Fortran. I've never used any of them professionally, though I have hand assembled some short routines for the Data General Nova 800 & Eclipse. I've also done a fair bit of assembly programming for my IMSAI 8080 and a bit for my XT clone. And, like many others, some BASIC on my home computers. =========
I'm just waiting for Cobol to make a big comeback! Remember to watch those periods. ;-) bye, Lee
