http://www.vpascal.com/ for the very best pascal compiler there is - including commercial ones.
It is totally Turbo Pascal compatible with valuable extensions. It supports Window$ DLL's and is 32 bit compatible as well as backward compatible to DOS. Complete with extensive docs, libraries, and examples. Get it while you can.
As far as learning Pascal, which IS the best way to learn programming as that's what Pascal was designed for, go to the bookstore and find a tutorial book on Pascal Programming. Start out on page 1 and work your way through each page. Pascal is easy enough to learn you'll soon have the hang of it.
