C is _very_ user friendly. It is just rather ... "selective"
about who its friends are.

LOL! That's gone into my quotes file (with attribution).

I originally heard it as "Unix is user friendly. It is just
choosy about who are its friends."

Sorry, I'm not going back to edit my file again - you are credited (-:!
(It's the spirit of the humour, anyway, not what language/whatever is
referred to. [Wasn't UNIX mostly written in C anyway?])

Yep.

As we also said about C, it wasn't so much "released" as
"escaped". Same was said about RPG (Report Program Generator) from
IBM.

By the way, and just for thr record, Turbo Pascal does indeed still compile
just fine on a 32 bit Windows XP computer using the DOS cmd shell.
Interestingly enough, apparently some versions of Turbo Pascal have been
releassed into the public domain, and can be found on the Internet. So
maybe the OP can port his source code over to a newer version of Pascal,
although Turbo Pascal took some liberties in its own version of Pascal that
may need to be addressed
