Turbo Pascal is my favorite development tool by far (for high level programming at least.) I was hoping it would be available soon after the Amiga came out, because I'm tired of 64K segmentation limitations on the PC, which can be gotten around, crudely, by pointers to heap space, but does still limit the actual code size in memory at once to 64k. There's a good chance I'll write a resident Pascal compiler myself with certain low level hooks that Borland doesn't support, but that is a long term project, although I have written a similar compiler for a structured BASIC for Z80 output.
