mark what ide u recommend besieds dev -pascal
The standard FPC release comes with a text-mode IDE (fp), but most people use Lazarus... it's graphical rather than text based but generally speaking it's structured such that you won't get swamped by unwanted functionality.
I can't offer specific suggestions relating to getting it installed on Windows, but there's plenty of people who run that combination. However I suggest that if you decide to try it and have teething problems you start a separate thread with an appropriate subject line: the most useful people might not be reading this one.
