  Subj: Returning to Pascal  
  Hi everyone,  
    
  Years ago (mid 80s - early 90s), I used to be a fairly proficient Pascal  
  programmer using Turbo Pascal under DOS and CP/M (on Apple w/z80 Softcard  
  and  
  Microbee), and have written a number of applications, including a Morse  
  tutor,  
  which was initially written under DOS, but ported to the Microbee with the  
  help  
  of a friend who owned one for the assembly code required to implement sound  
  and  
  timing on that platform.  
    
  I haven't written any Pascal for about 25 years, though I did dabble in Java  
  several years ago and am often scripting in BASH. Anyway, I've got a few  
  small  
  projects that could do with some code and after discovering Free Pascal, I  
  figured it would be easier to relearn Pascal than learn something new to me  
  such as C. Things have changed though since those days! :)  
    
  Any suggestions for resources would be welcome, though I have already found  
  some good information on the Free Pascal wiki, which has jogged my memory.  
    
    
  ... My hard disk is full! Maybe I'll try this message section thing.
