Borland Pascal eXtensions is a set of Pascal units designed to add to and improve Pascal's support for areas such as file management, string manipulation and validation.
Borland Pascal was one of the most popular tools for Pascal programming in its heyday. Since then, Pascal has fallen out of mainstream use with the introduction of Delphi and other high level languages, and Borland Pascal has followed it as a developer's tool.
Pascal is still used in many secondary schools as a teaching language to get students introduced to good programming practices with its strict but easy-to-learn syntax. However, the dropping of Borland Pascal has meant that the language has effectively ceased development, although it is still lacking in some important areas.
Improving Pascal
Borland Pascal eXtensions (BPX) aims to address the lack of some features with a set of Pascal units designed to plug these holes. It's very easy to use BPX in any Pascal project - it just needs to be included as a unit at the start of the program, and all its features can then be used throughout.
Unfortunately, due to other commitments, the developers have stopped actively adding new features to BPX, however, we will be more than happy to make bug fixes.
