From: chavez%ucbcory@Berkeley (Thomas M. Chavez) I am looking for something (hopefully from Apple) that will allow me to create Pascal based applications on my Mac. I haven't heard of a development system like this for the Mac yet, but maybe it is in the beta stage and I could try to get that. If it is only for developers, then does anyone know how I could be declared one quickly ? (Apple, are you listening?) I have been asked to have a working early version of a program by early January, when I meet with a rep. from a software distributor to discuss packaging, distribution, etc., so it is obvious that I need to get right to work. I hope that someone will be able to help me, as there are others who are depen- ding upon my doing my part of the deal. Thanks for the help. Please direct all responses to me at: chavez%ucbcory@berkeley. Tom Chavez

From: Jerry E. Pournelle <POURNE@MIT-MC> I can't help except to give an existence proof observation: DBMaster for the Mac is written in Pacal and it is a bitchin' program; very useful. So it's obviously possible... best wishes, jep Return-Path: <POURNE@MIT-MC> Received: from MIT-MC by SUMEX-AIM.ARPA with TCP; Mon 10 Dec 84 01:01:53-PST Date: 10 December 1984 03:59-EST From: Jerry E.

After my conversations with Atkinson and Capps I may not be a Maconvert but I'll help. ooh -- I'll also need info on where readers can buy the fonts disk. jep

From: kato.SV@XEROX.ARPA There are 2 Pascals that I know of. 1) MacPascal from APPLE. They are working on a compiler but since MacBasic still isn't ou, I wouldn't hold my breath. If your application isn't too large, you might try the released interpreter MacPascal. 2) SofTech's UCSD development system. Has an assembler, Fortran 77, and Pascal (compiler or interpreter, I don't know). I think it's been released. 3) Doesn't UCB have some Lisas there for some project? You may be able to use them by twisting the appropriate arm. Kato.sv@Xerox.ARPA

I wouldn't think it would be too hard to cobble one together.

I spoke to SofTech they are shipping Pascal and Fortran. Claim both have
compilers.
