Help! At Mayfield we are teaching Pascal running under Unix but our Pixel
100/AP is severely cramped for space. While I can get the money for a
bigger disk, I can't get Pixel to support the Pascal compiler that they
sold me - it is the Silicon Valley Software Version 1.1 - under anything
but their very oldest (and slowest) OS release.
What I need is either:
a) A Pascal compiler/interpreter that is in the public domain or very
cheap to a small high school and that I can make to run under a
more up-to-date OS release (something approaching 4.2, I'm told).
b) Some help from the SVS people (are they on the net???) in getting
one of their more recent compilers ported to the later Pixel OS
releases.
My final resort is trying to write something myself - which is not likely
to happen in this lifetime - at least not if I am to keep teaching!
Pixel seems stunningly indifferent to my plight - sort of a shoddy way to
treat one of their oldest customers - I hope someone out there can help.
Please reply by mail to me - I'll summarize if the demand warrants same.
Thanks in advance...
Cheers...
