here are some very annoying facts:
- Glen Bredons compressor (included with instant pascal) works only
on volumes <= 10MB - i was shocked !
- instant pascal 1.5
doesn't work with ramworks /ram - drive
doesnt use ramworks aux mem for prgm storage
cant be installed in subdirectories
circumvents prodos (stores the volume name in the executable...)
the screen routines are soooo slow... (rtns exist that are only
50% slower than 80 column text!)
otherwise it could be THE pascal system in my opinion
- appleworks
version 2.0 will not be available in germany at all
no upgrade service either, no german version
1.4 german version is not compatible with pinpoint keyplayer etc
- access // 1.5
no update service in germany
- basic.system
why the hell does DEL not work ?
'cd' or 'pre' instead of prefix
but the best is:
- mac pascal has been dropped because of incompatibility with the new
OS version ....
btw: apple germany seems to be like /dev/null
