Soory. I don't wish to install Linux. I would prefer a dos based compiler<br />

If you go to the New York Univeristy(NYU) web site, You can easily find DOS based compilers for Pascal. &nbsp;I am not exactly sure where. &nbsp;I did it about a year ago, and it is tough to remember exactly where. &nbsp;They have packages that you can download Pascal for free.<br />

I've been programing in Basic and Visual basic for a short time and i would now like to start working with pascal. &nbsp;I've began work with C and C++ but only because i could find free compilers for those languages.

Pascal is an influential imperative and procedural programming language, largely (but not exclusively) intended to teach students structured programming and data structuring. Pasca was implemented on a wide range of architectures, from early PCs to mainframes. Pascal derivatives include OOP-based Object Pascal (used in Delphi and Lazarus/Free Pascal). Pascal is a purely procedural language and includes control statements with reserved words, but has many data structuring facilities and other abstractions like type definitions, records, pointers, enumerations, and sets.
