GPC has been developped for *all* platforms including DOS.  :-)

No.

Borland *did* excellently fill that need, but there has been no progress
in Borland Pascal since BP 7.0 appeared in 1992 - 5 years ago.  Borland
does not support the DOS platform any more so there *is* need for a
better Pascal compiler for DOS which allows to orientate towards Linux,
OS/2 and other systems as alternatives to Windows 95.
