That's really cool and impressive that you saved it for so long! Clean code, too :)

Thanks. It is a miracle something survived on those floppies, let alone computer deaths... The directory they are under is called "Y2K Backup\MYFILES\Ancient Pascal Disk 3"...

Sometimes I wish I would've saved code from my younger days so I could go back and hack on them again, to bad github didn't exist back then.

Cool, compiles and runs in Turbo 7 under DOSBox.

I was asked how to install Pascal now, but I have no idea. I suspect the code relies on DOS and Turbo Pascal too much to run now without jumping through some hoops.

I had a quick look through it, you might be able to run it with FreePascal.

Thanks!

Didn't the original PC have lowercase? I thought I programmed TP in mixed-case, but can't remember.

Pascal wasn't case sensitive, so it was mostly a matter of style.

On Modula-2 and Oberon languages and their descendants keywords are uppercase and the languages are case sensitive.

But you could anyway write in lowercase and let the editor format the code for you, no need for banging the shift key all the time. :)

Actually I kind of like having keywords as uppercase, it means on a poor man's teletype or modern black-and-white printer without formatting, it is easier to spot the keywords versus the rest of code.

I definitely programmed TP 1.0 in mixed case on a TRS-80 Model II running CP/M.

Sure. It was a style thing!
