I think this is a little misleading since I don't think version 3 really was a "solid representation of the Turbo Pascal experience". Version 3 was pretty feature poor: no step through debugger, no pull-down menus in the IDE, etc. It's was just a bare-bones console editor and a COM-only compiler. It was the blue-background versions of the IDE that most people remember as "Turbo Pascal". That started with version 5. These versions were more than 10 times the size of Turbo Pascal 3. 548.64 kB for version 5 and nearly double that again for version 5.5. 500kB is still pretty small by modern standards but don't be thinking that everything you might associate with "Turbo Pascal" fit into 39,731 bytes.
