   It was the language of choice at Apple, back in the day - large parts   
   of original MacOS and the Lisa software were written in Pascal, dunno   
   about the Apple II/III DOSes. Not sure which flavor they used or how   
   extended it was; they certainly weren't shy about using 68k assembly   
   for critical parts.
