I was programming in the 1980s. Now I’m going back to DOS.

Program like it’s 1985! In this video, I go back to the 1980s. I’ve installed Turbo Pascal 3 and Turbo Pascal 7 on both a real version of MS-DOS and also in a copy of the free DOSBox-X DOS emulator, both on my PC and on a Raspberry Pi. My challenge is to write a procedural program (Turbo Pascal 3 didn’t have objects) that will run on DOS or (when I compile it with Free Pascal in the Lazarus IDE) on a modern version of Windows. This is a fun and challenging project. Give it a go!
