There were many wonderful things about TP, but it started much earlier than that.  BLS Pascal on Nascom 2, COMPAS Pascal on CP&#x2F;M, Turbo Pascal on CP&#x2F;M, and finally TP on DOS.  I met Anders at Herning Messen where he demoed COMPAS Pascal (running a Maze generator).  From my recollection he was a few years older than me which suggests he wrote BLS Pascal as a young teenager o_O!<p>This thread has a big of this history: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10202299" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10202299</a>
