I am interested in learning PASCAL on the Apple // series computers. I
have a version of PASCAL which runs on the ][+ (1.0?), but not on the
//c, or so my wife tells me. Perhaps some of you could advise me on which
PASCAL is the best for Apple //'s. I am interested in the following
criteria:
1. The implementation should run on Apple //e, //c, and, if possible
the ][+ as well.
2. Should be reasonable in price. (i.e. under $100.00).
3. Produces executable code as opposed to P-code (U.C.S.D. PASCAL
does this, I think. I prefer stand-alone executables).
4. Provides a good example of the language even if the product is from
a little known company.
5. Has good documentation.
Since PASCAL is new to me, some of the criteria I have mentioned may seem
naive. Anyway, I would appreciate your help.dick@ucsfcca.UUCP (Dick Karpinski) (03/07/86)

Aside from the fact that pure machine code takes so much room that you can't run a big program on an Apple that way, the p-system from Pecan Software, 1410 39th St, Brooklyn, NY 11218 may be just what you want. It is p-code, but there is a native code generator for the part that needs to be fast. Compile/edit cycle is pretty good.
