TURBO PASCAL
"Pascal
is a procedural language that was developed in the late 1960's. It's
a capable language that has many devoted users, and it is roughly comparable
to C in terms of power.Compared to C, Pascal has a fairly rigid set of
rules regarding program syntax and structure. Pascal devotees argue
that these rules encourage programmers to write concise, well-structured
programs that tend to be relatively
free of bugs.
C fans respond that C's relative lack of rules permits greater flexibility.
As much as anything else,
it's a matter
of personal preference.
Turbo Pascal's data formats and support for assembly language subroutines
are different from those found in traditional Pascal compilers such as
those from IBM or Microsoft. However, you can use the same principles
of subroutine interface design in Turbo Pascal that use in any other language."
