#### Can you recommend an IDE?

Users of Borland Pascal may wonder if there's a replacement for the IDE (Integrated Development Environment). Here's a few suggestions:

- (X)Emacs. Some people think it's the answer to the question of Life, the Universe and Everything, others decide it's uGNUsable. Available from your friendly GNU mirror and most distributions.
- PENG. It's not free software, but it was written with GPC. It's very similar to Borland's IDE, but with many extensions. Binaries for DJGPP, Linux and Solaris can be downloaded from http://fjf.gnu.de/peng/.
- RHIDE. DJGPP users might want to try RHIDE. The latest (beta) release is compatible with GNU Pascal and allows stepping, tracing and watching like Borland's IDE. It can be downloaded from http://www.rhide.com.
- DevPascal. DevPascal is a Free Software IDE for mingw32. It can be downloaded from http://www.gnu-pascal.de/contrib/chief/ or http://www.bloodshed.net/devpascal.html
- XWPE is another imitation of the Borland IDE, so users of Borland Pascal may find it a good alternative.
