Have you tried Lazarus (install it via the Ubuntu Software Center)?
It is a TP / Delphi lookalike.

If you're not used to TP / Delphi, *what* are you used to then?

Cool! That feels like 1987: programming in Turbo Pascal 1.0.

OK, here's the recipe, using http://en.ubucentrum.net/2009/04/turbo-pascal-programming-in-ubuntu.html

So: start up synaptic package manager.
search for "free pascal", and then in the search results, find "fp-ide". Select that for installation. A few more packages will be add.
Select "Apply" and the installation will begin; it will take 30 seconds. Then quit Synaptic
After installing, on the prompt, just type 'fp', and you will get the Turbo Pascal 1.0 interface.

I just did that and wrote a three line program; see the included screendump.
