Total Commander was in Delphi, but is now compiled with FPC. This is best file manager for windows. https://www.ghisler.com/

I believe Zoom Player too is a pascal beast. Before VLC became ubiquitous and playing all formats, Zoom Player was one of the top windows contenders. Since then Zoom Player grown to be also Zoom Commander, which is a player for meant for restaurants and venues, with ability to split video across multiple screens, with multiple overlays. https://www.inmatrix.com/

I prefer DoubleCommander: https://doublecmd.sourceforge.io/

It is a free, cross-platform alternative, also written in Pascal and (IMHO) has surpassed TotalCommander in many ways.

Indeed, it's built with Free Pascal and Lazarus.

I recall Lazarus/FPC was tried but the project switched back to Delphi.
