Ahhh Pascal. I miss it sometimes! : )

I only had a brief encounter with Pascal and never had the opportunity to
do anything with it other than school course work. I loved assembly but
that only lasted through tech school too.

I really liked Pascal. I even did a bit of programming for a Macintosh
using it. There was a utility program whose name I forget, that would
put together windows, menus, and other Mac features. These would be
incorporated into an outline application. Then the individual operations
that implemented these could be be programmed.

I do little coding these days what cannot be implemented using Excel
spreadsheet functions. I still would like to have an application like
Turbo-Pascal for number and lexical crunching. Every time I look at
something like Gnu Pascal, I feel overwhelmed.

What, if anything is available for me?

Well, there is always Real Basic. I have not used it, but it has been
around for a long time and looks pretty good.

Mathematica?

Fearfully expensive if you buy it.

Also horribly complex if you try to get deep into it, but remarkably
powerful, and not so bad if you stay with simple approaches.
