[comp.sys.apple] Pascal for the Apple //

crogers@umn-d-ub.D.UMN.EDU (clyde rogers) (03/31/88)

I have to port some software from the IBM PC to the Apple // (//e, //c,
//gs).  The programs I'm porting are written in Turbo Pascal, and use
some inline assembly code.  

What I need to know is what Pascal system should I use?  It must allow
assembly code, and must produce stand alone applications.  Some people
have recommended Apple Pascal to me.  Does anybody know how much a
licence for selling stand alone applications in Apple Pascal costs?  Do
you recommend a different system altogether?

Thanks for your support.

Sorry, I forgot my signature on my request for information on Apple //
Pascal systems.  Here it is...

i would recommend kyan pascal (prodos) for you since it allows inline assembly,
as well as conditional assembly which might be handy for you. kyan also offers
a optimizer to speed things up.
have phun,

The last time someone showed me Kyan Pascal (it WAS some time ago), it
couldn't even correctly compile a CASE statement..

Is this product even -sold- any more?  I haven't seen ads for it in ages.

Inquiring minds want to know.
