Turbo Pascal
by Borland International Inc
Turbo Pascal is Borland's classic DOS integrated development environment and compiler for the Pascal programming language.
Turbo Pascal is one of the most successful and popular Pascal compilers in history. Integrated development environment (IDE), elegant syntax, fast compilation and efficient generated code are just some of the strengths of Turbo Pascal. This compiler has been the main choice among programming tools for many years. Pascal's original syntax has been enhanced with objects and other designs, allowing programmers to use Turbo Pascal to develop games, scientific programs, commercial software, etc.
Borland released the first version in 1983 and the last DOS version, 7.0, in 1992; the product is no longer developed, and its successor is Delphi. This package includes the IDE, BGI graphics drivers, units, source files and examples.
Turbo Pascal offers an integrated development environment with fast compilation and efficient code generation, making it ideal for various applications.
