If anyone has information about upgrading from Apple Pascal 1.2 to 1.3, please post it. Thanx in advance. Mike Wertheim (Carnegie Mellon University)

Keith, I am currently trying to implement a BBS system that I want to transfer from the CP/M version of Turbo Pascal. I have the source code for this BBS and want to compile it under Apple Pascal 1.3. However, I want to use a 10 mb AST Microstor hard drive for this purpose. On checking AppleLink about using Pascal 1.3 with the Pascal Profile Manager, due to the 77 file limitation Pascal 1.3's formatter imposes on a volume, I need to have SYSTEM.ATTACH version 1.3 present on my new PPM program disk. I have not been able to find SYSTEM.ATTACH anywhere on any of the disks for Pascal 1.3. Is this a seperate entity that I must purchase, or is it available on some board as PD software, as the original system.attach was for version 1.1 of Apple Pascal. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Randy Miller rs.miller@pro-newfrontier Applelink: UG0151 GERS.MILLER CI$:7630,365 "That'sDIR at the C> not DOOR!!!"

The PPM is very sensitive as to what device you try to run it on. We had a lot of people asking the same question you are when we came out with the HD20SC. The PPM would not allow us to run it on it. There was one guy in England who figured out a way, but it involved a sick hack of mixing parts of Pascal 1.2 and 1.3. If you want to go ahead, APDA (the Apple Programmer's and Developer's Association) can be con- tacted at: 290 SW 43rd St., Renton, WA 98055 (206) 251-6548 The 1.3 Support tools is $18.50+.94. However, you must be an APDA member to get it. Membership is $20 annually.
