[comp.sys.apple] Pascal on the //GS...any clues, prices?

rapin@bnrmtv.UUCP (Eric Rapin) (12/09/87)

I'm starting to get desparate!
I am trying to find a Pascal compiler for the //GS
in the $100-$150 price range (cheaper would be nice of course :')

Apple Customer Relations said that Instant Pascal ($140)
isn't available yet. But an Apple Sales rep. told me about
a package called Power Systems for the //GS by Pecan Software Systems ($100).
None of the Apple dealers I've called seems to have heard of Pecan.

I would like to get this before Christmas but that may not be
possible. Any leads would be appreciated.
Is there a back issue of A+ or some other magazine that did
a survey of Pascal compilers for Apple //'s that someone could refer
me to?

I would like to find out as soon as possible so, if you're local,
even phone calls would be appreciated! If you're not local and you still
want to call, I'll personally nominate you for the USENET Service Award
(if one existed that is :')

If there is interest in a summary, I'll post what I find, otherwise
please reply by mail or phone.

Thanks in advance,

(My mailer bounced the address, so I'll try here...)

You may have already looked at this one and rejected it,
but here goes...

TML Pascal for the //gs I think fits in your price range,
but I think it may need APW to work.  One advantage is that
programs written with it can be proted to the Mac, either
to Mac TML Pascal or (with slight changes, mostly $Uses type
statements) to LightSpeed, Turbo, or MPW Pascals.

Some mail-order discounter that handles //gs stuff will
likely have it at some sort of discount.

I heard that TML Pascal was really good...I dunno. I might be even
talking about the wrong subject..

TML pascal is a great implementation of Pascal.  It's about $100 and advertised
 in all of the magazines.
