 The most successful Pascal dialect has been Borland's TurboPascal. There are two OpenSource Pascal compilers for [Linux]: 
  
 * [GNU Pascal | http://www.gnu-pascal.de/] 
-* [Free Pascal | http://www.freepascal.org/] 
+* [Free Pascal | http://www.freepascal.org/]. __Note__ this is written in Pascal, so you need an existing Free Pascal binary to build the source!  
  
 Free Pascal tends more towards TurboPascal compatibility. 
  
 The online book [Pascal Implementation: A Book and Sources | http://www.cwi.nl/~steven/pascal/] walks you through the source code to the original Pascal compiler (implemented in Pascal as a RecursiveDescentParser). It's educational to read just as an extended critique of a non-trivial program.
