  There are several PASCALs for OS/2.  Borland, fortunately, does not
  make any of them.

  The German magazine 'ct - magazine fuer computertechnik' produced a
  patch for Borland Pascal 7.0 for DOS that would convert it to produce
  16-bit OS/2 programs.  The patch (CT9311_1.ZIP), and all of the
  subsequent updates and fixes, should be widely available by now.  They
  are available direct from c't Mailbox in Havover (+49 511 535 2301),
  on most FIDONET files sites, or from the GERNET forum on CompuServe.
  Only go this route if you already have Borland Pascal.  For a 16-bit
  non-standard language it isn't worth it otherwise.

  There are 3 other freely available pascal tools for OS/2:

    * p2c - standard pascal to c translator (requires emx/gcc or GCC/2)
    * pasos2 - 32-bit pascal (requires MASM 6.0 or TASM)
    * Power Pascal/2 - 32-bit pascal (requires MASM)

  Speed PASCAL/2 is a 32-bit PASCAL compiler for OS/2, that claims
  Borland Delphi compatibility :
