Default Wierd question - a pascal compiler for WIn7???

In article ,
says...

This is the current problem: I have a program written in Pascal
and Windows 7 won't run it. Tells me to contact the developer and get
support. Except that I am the developer, and I wrote when I should
have been doing class work (the original was written on the Honeywell,
then ported to Turbo Pascal.)
A quick search shows me that Borland is no longer supporting Turbo
Pascal, so, recommendation for a Pascal compiler for Windows 7?
I thought about running the source code through a conversion
program, and "porting it" to C/C+, C++ DC++=&#, but then I'd have to
know C* to clean up the results. And find a C compiler, too.

so, recommendation for a Pascal compiler for Windows 7?

*I started to port the code to C, instead of doing _that_ classwrok,
but I don't have that source code at all. Maybe on a 5 1/4 floppy,
somewhere. In a box marked Mag Media.


I've gotten Delphi to work even though it's not supported. Turns out all
it needed was permissions changed on few of it's install folders and all
was well. Although it's really for object oriented stuff I have used it
for 100,000+ line program I wrote using just native Windows API's and
straight Pascal, e.g. made my own winmain function, created all the
windows "manually". coded message handlers etc. list goes on and on and
....
