AFAIK, it is Borland specific. I used MS Pascal for a couple of years, and
MTPascal (from DR) before that and neither of them had nested procedures.
The MS one at least was supposed to be ISO language compliant and the
MTPascal one was supposed to have been derived from USCD.

Incidently, the MS Pascal compiler is/was great. The last version I used
was version 5.0 which has the same back-end code generator and optimiser as
the C compiler with the same version number but it produced very low
overhead executables and fast code. It lacked a lot of Borland conveniences
like an integral string type, however. I think there was also a "Quick
Pascal" compiler as well complete with IDE, but I don't recall ever
using it.
