New member, coding in Borland Pascal

[tbman]

Yes, believe it or not. I'm a retired accountant whose hobby used to be computer programming. I learned BASIC, then QuickBasic and then I moved onto Turbo/Borland Pascal. I kept my compiler and some source code over the years (about 3 decades) and using DosBox I'm able to run Borland Pascal and do some rudimentary clones of old arcade games. (Missile Command, Centipeed and most recently Space Invaders). I see from the forum list that pascal programming is deader than a dinosaur, but I'll learn things here regardless.

Have you tried any new programming languages?

No, not yet. I have a version of Turbo C++ that is set up to run in DosBox. I tinker with it once in a while.
