College project? Pascal? ugh, I know that feeling :)

I only know of two Pascal compilers that may work. fpk, and gpc.
I cant remember the URL to either of them tho :(
A search of freshmeat.net could be productive.
gpc is the GNU Pascal compiler, so i guess its linked from gnu.org.


I managed to get my hands on a laptop, so I'm doing my college project 
in C++ (at this very moment in fact :)).

When I was still facing the prospect of having to do it in Pascal I had
a quick look at gpc, and I seem to remember it not compiling.

The only thought I had at the time was wondering if Turbo Pascal 3, or 5
would run in dosemu, or vmware. (or maybe even wine?).
