Has anyone seen a Pascal compiler for the Amiga yet? I've never heard of
one, which is kind of amazing, given the large numbers of them available
on other machines.

A friend of mine purchased it from a local Amiga dealer. It is a fairly old version and neither I nor my fellow Amiga users thought it was very good. It works best with a hard drive of some sort. It's editing system doesn't use any one the Amiga's menu functions, etc. It looks like a nearly direct port from an IBM type compiler somewhere out there. It's probably been updated by now, but the answer to your qauestion is yes..... there is at least one Pascal compiler for the Amiga out there. -Mike Williamson

One the other hand I heard that a v2.00 is out which is "descent" as the poster stated. -Asaph

I was just in my local Amiga dealer yesterday (to FINALLY get 1.3) and noticed that they have version 2 of Metacomco Pascal. Their price was $110, give or take a nickel. Has anybody got any experience with this? Is it any good? I'd like to program my Amiga in something other than C, and haven't been too impressed by TDI's Modula 2 compiler. -- Jeff (martens@cis.ohio-state.edu)

I know a Pascal compiler: Metacomco MCC Pascal.
But it is not very a very good one (few possibilities)
(eg: no facilities in case instructions,etc) and there is no standard
interface with AmigaDos.
I think it is not very insteresting.
