* [http://community.borland.com Turbo Pascal] was the dominant Pascal compiler for PCs during the 80s and early 90s, popular both because of its powerful extensions and extremely low compilation times. Currently, older versions of Turbo Pascal (up to 5.5) are available for free download from Borland's site (registration required).
* [http://www.borland.com/delphi/ Delphi] is Borland's flagship RAD ([[Rapid Application Development]]) product. It uses the [[Delphi programming language]] to create applications for the windows platform.
* [http://www.borland.com/kylix/ Kylix] is Borland's newest reiteration of the Pascal branch of their products. It is the descendant of [[Delphi programming language|Delphi]], with support for the [[Linux]] operating system and an improved object library. The compiler and the IDE are available now for non-commercial use. The compiler (but not the library or the IDE) is supposed to become [[Open Source]] software some time soon.
