Howdy,
I once was really good on Pascal, and I'm still not used to C (it's too
messy). There is a Turbo Pascal like compiler for Linux, derived from a
DOS version, but I don't even want to start porting it. The Linux guys
seem willing to help, but I guess you might need to use gpc (the GNU
pascal compiler). I think I'll end up using C++ or Java.

They have a lot of things working though: there is an IDE, and the
Pascal tvision libraries.
Their homepage is here:

cheers,

	Pedro.
