   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.
