[PLUG] Is PHP a good intro programming language?

[Anthony Schlemmer]

If it helps here are a couple of links for Pascal compilers that you 
might find useful:

http://www.freepascal.org/

I've got quite a bit of old Pascal code from my college and early 
professional programmer days and I'm sort of curious how well the free 
compilers work. I may give one or both of these compilers a try under 
Linux.
