Hi. I've been lurking in this newsgroup for a couple of months in
hopes that I would see a mention of a source for a Pascal compiler that
would run on my system (an i486 running SysVr.3.2 Unix from Interactive.)
During that time I've seen several *questions* about shareware or PD or
copylefted Pascal compilers for Unix but no *answers*. I've sent email
to the folks who posted these questions to ask what response they got but
so far none of them has responded -- which means either that none of them
ever answers mail or (as I guess) they didn't get any answers either on
the net or via mail. It must be a tough question.
Does ANYONE know of a SysV Pascal compiler that doesn't cost an arm
and a leg? The cheapest one for which I've seen an ad is the one from
Microsoft and they want 500 bucks for it -- and the others are all even
more expensive than that! What about the (possibly mythical) GNU Pascal?
I have seen vague references to this in messages but I've never seen it
in an archive. Does it exist or is it just wishful thinking?
Thanks very much to anyone who may have an answer!
