Borland used to make some fantastic IDEs. For a long time I would always lean towards Borland over Microsoft.

You've inspired me to pick up Turbo Pascal again and write some DOS software just for fun.

Me too, I only switched after they lost many of their key developers like Anders, sold their developer division and went enterprise.

Turbo Vision, Object Windows Library and Visual Components Library were all way better than MFC ever was.

And of course, Turbo Pascal 6.0 and 7 on MS-DOS were already great Pascal dialects. Oh well....

Have you tried FreePascal?
