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

One difference I caught "back in the day": Pascal on the
Honeywell, exited a loop and left the value in the counter. In Turbo
Pascal, that didn't happen, which made the next set of calculations
really, really wrong. Orders of magnitude wrong.
