The last word we had here about Turbo-Pascal for the Amiga was, "Forget it." Borland is too busy with "Turbo-C", and support for the PC and Macintosh, and didn't think the Amiga was worth supporting. (Perhaps they've changed their mind, but if so, I haven't heard anything about it.)

(Perhaps they've changed their > mind, but if so, I haven't heard anything about it.) I wouldn't wait for TP 4.0. And I agree that tey don't seem interested in the Amiga. But I'm also unsure of their committment to the mac. Seems that the support folks don't know about the "Apple Desktop Bus" (LAN-type thing that the mouse, keyboard, graphics tablet etc. plug in to on the SE ...) and don't have any suggestions on work arounds. Seems that the folks down work have themselves an expensive tablet that can't do much more than mouse emulation till we can get another compiler or something. (I think I've just about got them talked into an Amiga system instead though ;-) Besides, I think I saw TP 5.0 advertized somewhere... Soo.. maybe try Modula-II or C or something, but TP probably won't even make it to vaporware... !all above claims are disclaimed in an attempt to claim sole !responsibility for all disclaimed claims (esp. misspellings) -- Kostya LaPasha paleo@uncecs.edu or paleo@ecsvax.uncecs.edu - comments, opinions, etc. are mine NOT those of NCSU -

In case your interested, I have seen MCC V2.0 Pascal avaliable on local computer store shelves. This was just recently released. Chuck Pooley HP Labs Disclaim, disclaim, disclaim
