[comp.lang.pascal] Any good Pascals for CP/M2.2?

go@orstcs.UUCP (04/06/87)

I have an associate who wants to do some "light-duty" control
programming in Pascal for an old Z80 machine he has lying around.
It runs CP/M 2.2.  Are there any suggestions from the crowd regarding
what would be a good choice here?  I know about DRI's Pascal MT+.
I have used it and won't recommend that.  Does Turbo-pascal still
exist for cp/m?

Direct all responses to me by mail, please.  Thanks for the help.

Turbo Pascal is the premier choice, in my opinion.  I have two
C compilers, a Basic interpreter/compiler, and other stuff.
Turbo Pascal is what I use exclusively.

Why?  SPEED!  I don't have to exit the editor, start the compiler,
run the assembler, then the linker, then pop back in the editor to
fix a bug.  It's all there in one integrated environment.

Two months ago I finally bought a clone of an IBM AT.  So, the CP/M
system just sits there.  Anyway, the first program I got for my AT
was Turbo Pascal.
