There is no reason to use Turbo Pascal these days. FreePascal[1] and Lazarus[2] take the bid.

I recently wrote a personal productivity app using Laz & FP, and came away really impressed. I immediately installed the tools on three different work systems and joined the community because I can see this being valuable in the future.

As another result of that experiment, I thought about giving Turbo Pascal a try next time I'm in DOSBox, just for nostalgia reasons. Hopefully the issue highlighted here wouldn't be too awful to deal with.
