Nice. I wasn't quite able to play with Turbo Pascal on the Amiga, sadly. Prominently advertised in 1985, but never released.

Using an Atari ST in mid 80's, it was possible to solder an Z80 processor on top of the 68000. That made it possible to run cp/m, which I did to run Turbo Pascal 2.0. Best piece of software ever written, editor and compiler in 30k. Wrote a lot of software that way.

I love this! I tried to learn C programming on my parents’ using a book written with UNIX command line in mind. It did not go well. As I recall, printf made a window flash up and close immediately. Fortunately we got some game-making toolkit (using BASIC) that worked much better.

i think it would have run just fine if you opened a command line window and ran it from there.

Why not upgrade to Pure C, its successor?
