There is a version of GNU Pascal for linux - usually not installed by any
distribution i know of, but easily found on a mirror site. Last time i tried
it out, it wasn't that impressive - but that was probably 8 months ago.

Alternatively there is a Pascal-to-C translator which does install with
slackware if you choose to. The command for that is p2c.

good luck
