Related, Free Pascal has a text-mode IDE that's supported on most modern platforms.

It looks pretty much identical to the Turbo Pascal IDE for anyone that's feeling nostalgic and wants to write some yellow on dark blue code.

Even better - Free Pascal comes with Free Vision, which is mostly compatible with Turbo Vision. Turbo Vision was the toolkit Borland provided that would let you write your own text-mode GUI apps using the same widgets used to build the Turbo Pascal IDE.

And it was a quite good guide into the world of OOP programming.

I don't think the Free Pascal IDE is related to this

If you check the website demos and the "dos.h" source on GitHub, this is a library for making GUI apps whose UI has the appearance of being made with MS-DOS.

Unless I am misunderstanding the connection you're trying to make, which is also possible

It's related in the sense of both having an appeal to DOS nostalgia.
