Anyone have, or in the process of porting, a Pascal compiler for the IBM PC under PC/IX? At UCSD we are converting a laboratory of 60 networked PCs to run PC/IX, and will be using the lab. primarily for teaching introductory programming. We intend to continue teaching Pascal (C as a first language makes as much sense as learning to drive on a Formula race-car). Our objectives are a 'standard' Pascal compiler, which compiles fast, with helpful error messages, etc. Code quality is not an issue. We are willing to work with others in porting or testing an existing compiler, but want to avoid a major porting effort. Bill Appelbe (EECS Dept.
