[net.micro.apple] Apple Pascal 1.2 upgrade - needed ?

fek@wuphys.UUCP (04/02/85)

I use Apple Pascal quite a bit on my IIe.  I currently have version 1.1 both on
floppy and on my Corvus.  My question - Does the version 1.2 offer a
substantial upgrade to 1.1 ? What are the new goodies ? 

I have been informed that the upgrade policy has been expired by Apple
and to go to 1.2 I will need to purchase the complete package.  Is
this true ? Is it worth it ? 

Please reply by mail.  If there is sufficient interest, I will post to
the net.  Thanks in advance.

Does anybody know anything about the rumor that Apple has a Pascal 1.3 in
the wings that runs under Prodos?

On another topic, does anybody know if Pascal (either version 1.1 or 1.2)
runs without modification on an "enhanced" IIe (With the 65C02 processor and
the new ROMS)?  If not, does anybody have (pointers to) the patches to make
it work?  I am seriously considering buying the upgrade kit, and don't want
to lock myself out of the Pascal world.
