[comp.sys.apple] Pascal compilers

ptrepan3@umn-d-ub.D.UMN.EDU (Pat Trepanier) (10/03/89)

I am looking to buy a good pascal compiler and was wondering what other people
thought was a good pascal compiler. I am using a IIGS with 1.25 meg and would 
like for the compiler to be cojmpatible with GS/OS 5.0. I have been reading
alot about TML and Orca and was wondering what people thought of thes two
compilers and why they bought the one they did.

		Thanks

I'm also looking for a pascal system, I was using apple pascal 1.2 (p-system), 
But it won't recognize my CPS unidisk.  I had heard that 
apple pascal 1.3 had drivers for the 3.5", but don't seem to see it in
any mail-order places. Is it still sold? 
i really wanted something better that Kyan (standard) pascal. (units, etc)
There is to be a shortage of pascal compilers for //e's. but not //gs ones. 
Any suggestions?

Yes: Get yourself a CP/M card and get Turbo Pascal. The CP/M is $40 from AE and
 comes with drivers that allow use of a 3 1/2". Turbo rocks over Apple Pascal 1
.3 totally...

Apple Pascal 1.3 is available thru a few mail order places if you specifically
ask or from APDA.  Thats because yet again Apple has dropped a language.
Instant Pascal, Apple Pascal, GS Basic, all of these Apple II languages are
gone.  Only Applesoft and APW Asm and C are available actively I believe.
You might try Pecan Software - a lot of folks complain about them, but if
they are the only folks in town supporting your machine...
