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.

*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.
There's probably more than one P2C out there.
This page hints at some of the "translation" problems.

Pascal is tightly typed, while C is not.
C is like assembler, wearing a dress.
Pascal will cure you of a lot of bad habits,
whereas C encourages those bad habits.
