Turbo Pascal is even still available as its originators took it back

Also there's GNU Prolog if you just want to futz around with Prolog.
I wrote a large application in Turbo Pascal in 1996 or so,
and it had been cast adrift since then. The computer it ran
on was getting old and I was worried it would die, and then
I discovered FPC (Free Pascal Compiler). It was designed to
port over Turbo Pascal and DEC Pascal programs, and took the
separate compilation directives like uses and $I. I was
able to get that program running on a Linux system in a few
days.
