Turbo Rascal Syntax error, “;” expected but “BEGIN” Is a very strange product name. Only a programmer would think this would not damage the success of the project. I nearly closed the page as soon as I hit it, thinking that somehow I had landed on some page where someone is trying to resolve a programming problem.

> Only a programmer would think this would not damage the success of the project. It's a Pascal compiler for Commodore 64. I don't think naming is the factor that would inhibit the widespread use of this compiler. Not to mention, it's a good enough name: everyone's going to remember "Turbo Rascal", which conveys all the information necessary (like Turbo Pascal, but not really).
