FPC DOS is pretty easy for a console program, but it is 32-bit (whereas 
DOS is 16-bit) so it isn't as simple as Turbo Pascal.

I think my most enjoyable work ever was during the past 3.5 years, using 
Turbo Pascal on expensive real-time embedded equipment.

There is a 5 MB zip here that should make it easy to get started with 
FPC for DOS:
