I don't know about that.

I coded in UCSD-P quite a bit (and played a few games written in it, Wizardry on the Apple 2 anyone?).

But UCSD-Pascal never reached a tiny fraction of the audience that Turbo Pascal did.

Turbo Pascal certainly had more users, but it was never "run anywhere".
Not sure what you mean by that.

Are you talking about the host OS and the fact that Turbo Pascal was Windows only, as opposed to Pascal UCSD which was a VM?

I meant that the UCSD system ran on many diverse platforms, and TP did not.
