That's no problem. I'm not trying to force it down anybodies throat.

Strictly speaking, the free French version was Turbo Pascal 7; Borland Pascal 7's little brother.

Yes, my initial test was with 2036 "stable", but I'm going to install it in a VMWare virtual machine on my AMD machine and try 2038pre on that. I can't do a proper install on my AMD because the FreeDOS installer just crashes. Doesn't like my 2GB of RAM maybe, I don't know.
