I thought Turbo Pascal only ran under CP/M and MSDOS.

Since the newer C64's don't work with the CP/M cartridge, I think you are out
of luck.

You can run Turbo Pascal on the 128 though.

I don't know which Pascal to recommend, but I highly recommend the Pro-Line C
compiler.  It's a full C compiler (except bit fields).  You have all the good
things from C (like structs, unions, separate compilation).
The package comes with a pretty good screen editor that has a built in
C language parser so you don't have to load the compiler to check for
typos (saves lots of time considering the speed of the 1541!).
