Editing [WayBack] What is a Delphi DCU file? – Stack Overflow for more historic correctness and adding links prompted me to archive some older material and search for some more, basically because while historically very relevant, link rot makes a lot of that stuff harder and harder to find.
- [WayBack] A Brief History of Modula and Lilith | Кронос (mentioning the single pass compilation objective of the original Pascal standard)
- [WayBack/Archive.is] Follow Delphi’s ancestors-Qiita (original in Japanese. The WayBack link translates into English; the Archive.is link is already translated; neither archive shows the images, so I copied them below)
- I tried to extract a few downloads via it
- Based on Download-Freeware: Delphi, Pascal & C / C ++ Compiler (Inprise: Internet Archive)
- [WayBack] turbo_pascal_701_fr.zip (Turbo Pascal 7.01 FR)

The legendary full page colour advert published in the 12th 1983 issue of Byte Magazine on page 456 is at the bottom of this post (Many BYTE magaine issues have been archived at https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine).
The smaller version below is from WayBack: Sip from the Firehose : November 2008 marks the 25th anniversary of Turbo Pascal v1.0! (this article is not available on the Embarcadero or Idera site any more).
I also included more adverts in reverse chronological order at the end:
- full page colour advert in the 1st 1984 issue of BYTE magazine on page 183 so show the differences a few months can make.
- full two page colour advert for the Turbo Pascal 2.0 version in the 5th 1984 issue of BYTE magazine on pages 31+32
- full page colour advert for the Turbo Pascal 2.0 version (also in the 6th 1984 issue of BYTE magazine on page 95)
- full page colour advert for the Turbo Pascal 3.0 version (also in the 7th 1985 issue of BYTE magazine on page 41)
