Three comments from some one learned to program on Turbo Pascal. First under the ancient cpm os - then the dreaded MS DOS.
First - The "joe" editor has a Wordstar mode you invoke by calling jstar. This is almost exactly the Turbo Pascal editor. If you ask, I probably couldn't tell you a single WordStar-Turbo Pascal editing command. BUT the neurons in my knuckles know *exactly* what to do. If you are missing the features of Turbo Pascal editing, you will appreciate the jstar invocation of the joe editor.
Second - The other half of Turbo Pascal was the integrated Pascal compiler. I know of nothing *quite* like it in the Linux world. However - there are tantalizing bits and pieces of it all over the place. You pretty much have the tools you need to roll your own. But - you will have to roll your own!

The closest you can find (I think!) is the emacs editor with which you can integrate both the Turbo Pascal-Wordstar style editing and a language compiler of your choice - including Pascal. Bear in mind that I am talking through my hat here. I, personally, have yet to play with emacs. I'm too busy at the moment, trying to jump to Turbo Pascals successor Delphi with Python as the language of choice. (Glade-pygtk?) (wxGlade-wxPython?) or perhaps (one of a sundry other half finished gnu projects?)
I'm tired of the reduced functionallity of Windows. It's getting worse with tweaking, so OK, here's my OS want list, two things: I used to write batch files under DOS. I even had Neil Rubenking's...
Some drivers become "locked" once loaded, because they're essensial to the running of the system (filesystem, disk controller, etc), but yes, as...
Which brings me to my third point - Kylix is Borlands port of Delphi to Linux. And again, I can say little about this except it is out there. My own programming efforts under Linux is leading me in the direction of Python rather than Pascal. I suspect half the world would love to see a robust integrated GUI-IDE around Python a la Delphi-Kylix.
I, too, still have the warm and fuzzies for that old Turbo Pascal IDE! Thomas Bartkus
