Too many years are passed, but as far as I remember, only C code was portable between 8, 16, and 32 bit platforms. It was possible to incrementally convert program from assembler to C and then port to different platforms, but it was not possible to do conversion using Pascal, or other programming language.

Check language support across Small-C, Turbo C, Quick C, Aztech C, Metrowerks C and many others from those days. Likewise it was possible to do the same across Pascal compilers that implemented variants of ISO Extended Pascal/UCSD Pascal, Modula-2 and a couple of other high level languages.
