A lot of it was written in Turbo Pascal, which (among many other things that would have caused Niklaus Wirth to break out in hives) let you include inline machine code (and later, inline assembly language).
That's true, but so did C compilers at the time. And most software didn't actually make use of it - they didn't have to, because Turbo Pascal had e.g. pointer arithmetic as powerful as in C.
But anyway, we were talking about the real world software on microcomputers, not just standards in the abstract. With that in mind, I think TP/BP is a better example of Pascal in the wild than anything Wirth ever made.
