Pascal for Linux

[ubageek]

At the moment I am at college and one part of the course is that I have to write a short program, but the down side is that its in visual basic using turbo Pascal, and since I want to do the best I would like to do some work at home, and was wondering is there an equivalent of turbo pascal so I can test the programs so I know that they work?

visual basic in turbo pascal??? Those are two different languages to my knowledge. Visual Basic is not available on Linux (although I hear OpenOffice has an interpreted that sorta works for Office things). Pascal is a good question. I know gcc has fortran support, but I don't remember hearing anything regarding pascal.

Iteresting choice of languages for that course. I thought Pascal had been long since dead after about the mid-90's.
