Question

I am looking for a IDE for Pascal. Something that runs under Linux, is simple and easy to run. My goal is to setup something for a kid to learn, something that wouldn’t require to derive from 10 classes to make a text visible on screen.

I remember DOS-based TurboPascal being very easy to use. Now I tried Lazarus, but its interface is very complex.

I don’t need IDE that works with multiple languages, and I won’t change Pascal into another language–there’s lots of good textbooks in my native language for Pascal, and very little for other.

Thanks!

What about using FreePascal with its included editor or a basic text editor, like nano or gedit? You could also use one of the old “Borland-ish” IDEs like PENG or RHIDE.
