Re: [vcf-midatlantic] Perhaps I asked the wrong question...

I know you hate the beige boxes, but there is no better IDE for Pascal than Turbo Pascal for MS-DOS.

Yeah I'm familiar with that. I had a 486 in college (mid-90s) and my suitemate had me install Turbo Pascal so he didn't have to schlep across campus to the computer lab to do his homework.

I'd also consider Turbo C for MS-DOS. Or, if you want to go a different period direction, use cc on your Linux box and force yourself to use a command line editor (vi or Emacs).

What's a good graphical C for Linux? I'd rather avoid the command line. I know how to use it modestly enough, but I don't enjoy it.
