Object Pascal is a draft for an object oriented ANSI/ISO standard of the venerable Pascal programming language (circa 1989-1990). The draft never made it to a full standard, but some Apple dialects are pretty close to it. Object Pascal is the programming language you use in Delphi. It is mostly similar to Turbo Pascal, but Borland has added some features to it. I will deal with these later. Object Pascal is obviously an object oriented language. For those who don't know what this is I'll give a brief summary in the next section. Those who are familiar with OOP can skip it.
