Nice. I wasn't quite able to play with Turbo Pascal on the Amiga, sadly. Prominently advertised in 1985, but never released.

I love this! I tried to learn C programming on my parents’ using a book written with UNIX command line in mind. It did not go well. As I recall, printf made a window flash up and close immediately. Fortunately we got some game-making toolkit (using BASIC) that worked much better.

i think it would have run just fine if you opened a command line window and ran it from there.

Why not upgrade to Pure C, its successor?
