Is there a open-source OS writing in Pascal?.

You may also want to check into material
regarding the UCSD Pascal system, a Pascal based
OS that was the basis of virtually every Pascal
implementation until Turbo Pascal (and was a
heavy influence even then), as well as being in
many was the ancestor of the Java JVM.

I'd also like to make a second suggestion that
will, I have no doubt, be quite controversial:
you should take a look at Wirth's later
langauges, especially Modula 2 and Oberon. Both
of those were redesigned from the basic Pascal
structure for precisely for the purpose of
systems programming, and have several advantages
over Pascal for it. Most programmers, myself
included, find them painfully ugly; you may
disagree (personally, I also find the C family
ugly, too, and prefer Scheme. De Gustibus.)
Modula 2 was specifically designed to overcome
several problems inherent in standard Pascal,
while Oberon is the result of Wirth's experiments
in OOP. HTH.

I am making a turbo pascal os,as part of a dos clone.
