another turbo pascal/c fan here; borland's turbo language tools were amazing when they came out for the pc - they must have raised a generation of programmers.

When I first bought Turbo Pascal it was about $69.
At the same time Microsoft Pascal was about $400.

The value was so good that I remember being wary lest TPas was some kind of scam.

I'll need to give these a spin real soon.

(Thanks for providing the motivation in this thread!)
