Never used Pascal myself, but a co-worker wrote me a File Management program that started AutoCAD, on MS-DOS 5 under Windows 3.11 and passed startup commands to it. Borland Turbo Pascal had a nice facility for starting another DOS Shell in which you could start another program with full memory available to the program, including the 386K of Extended Memory in a 1Mb system.
I was programming assembly for 8080, Z80, 8088, 80286, Data General minicomputers (Nova II, Eclipse S230),; C, C+ on Z80 and IBM PCs; as well as BASIC, Compiled BASIC and Visual BASIC on any computer supporting it.
