Yep, Borland Pascal 7.0 supported DPMI, but with a 16-bit segmented memory model. I often wonder how the C hegemony would have been affected if BP had a optimizing 32-bit compiler for DOS. IIRC, Doom's use of Watcom C validated that you could write performant games without using very much assembler, but BP wasn't up to the task.
