Well, after sifting through replies directly to me and those posted up to
the net, it appears that my suspicions were confirmed : there is NO good
Pascal compiler for the Amiga. This is very disappointing, because
Pascal (along with Ada) is one of the major academic languages used both
here in the UK and in America.
I originally raised the Pascal question because I refuse to program in
C (far too unstructured for my liking and all the compilers I've ever seen
have been extremely user-hostile) and I have a fair hatred of Modula-2 (and
that godamn awful AmigaBASIC). I think I'll stick to my Macintosh (Turbo
Pascal) and Archimedes (BASIC V and ARM code) for programming....
