TurboPascal on Mac

Note: probably 99% of this tutorial (excluding installation and folder structure) is DOSBox- and not Mac-specific. As long as your computer can run DOSBox you should be able to convert the steps to work on Windows.

1. Downloading & Installing DOSBox

DOS apps don't run natively on OS X, so we use DOSBox to emulate DOS for us.

1a. Downloading DOSBox

Navigate to the official DOSBox download page

Quarkbox (for Windows & Mac)

I made a thing. It's called Quarkbox and it allows you to compile and run your TurboPascal programs from the Atom text editor.

It comes bundled with the TurboPascal compiler from borlandc.org, so that's one thing less to worry about.

Benefits over the Blue Window of Death Editor (BWODE)

• It doesn't suck.
• It can be extended, infinitely.
• Open source.
