They don't call it a teaching language for no
reason :-)
I've got good memories of Turbo Pascal on the PC though, but then I
suppose Borland did outfit it with a lot of features to make it more
reasonable. Being able to drop into assembler sure was handy, too. I
have no good memories of the Pascal environment on the Mac, though
(afraid I don't remember if that was Apple's own variant or a third
party's, but it sure was horrible)
All I remember from Pascal programs I have seen is that every thing
is 1 large program. I/O is from the punched card era and every body
handles SETS differently. Did any one ever use TINY Pascal?
