I took a semester of it in college about that long ago. I am now a COBOL
programmer by profession, after taking a self-paced course sometime after
college.

| reader is able to compile the program and run it to get the screen:

Yes, I was able to. ;-)
| You will note that in this example I am using the Windows version of the Free
| Pascal 2.6.0 compiler, I used a command prompt, and I changed to the
directory

I am using the linux version from the debian stable repository. I am also
using the fpc ide to edit the programs.
| If there is more interest I can post another lesson on Free Pascal.

I would not mind seeing some more lessons. This echo had not seen much
traffic here until your posts. Thanks!
