Welcome aboard.
The microbee worked well with Turbo Pascal.
It compiled quickly to run with its runtime library files (unlike HiTech-C which could take an age to compile but produced fantastically quick and tight binary files).
Delphi still exists with Embarcadero and is used for writing portable programs across multiple platforms but unlike Turbo Pascal which was about $100, Delphi now costs between $2,500-$9,200.
Altium(Protel) designer for Windows was written in Delphi for quite a while until recently.
