I've always called it Turbo Pascal (but never just Pascal :-)

I have hopes for version 3.0 of JPI M2, and don't really mean to be
'bashing' it.  However, I'm afraid I'm alone it wanting a M2 compiler
rather than a C compiler.  Multi-lang is nice, but not if it means
giving up design philosophy and language 'cleaness' for marketing
hype points.
