[comp.sys.atari.st] Pascal Compilers

schoepf@DMZRZU71.BITNET (06/30/87)

I'd like to hear some comments on Pascal compilers running on the ST.
The only one I've seen running is the Pascal ST+ Compiler.
It may be OK for developing programs on the ST but certainly not for
porting programs from other machines. It limits the size of local storage
to 32k and does not accept input lines which are longer than 79 characters
(very stupid -- punched cards are out of date, aren't they?).
Both limitations are not documented (at least not in the german version
of the manual).
So if anybody out there knows anything about MCC, Prospero or other
Pascal Compilers: say it! Do they have bugs/limitations which are
unacceptable ?
Any comments are welcome.

Does anyone have any comments/experience with Pecan Software's UCSD PASCAL
package?  It is supposed to support multitasking & they have an assembler,
editor, and compiler for it.

Thanks in advance.

I am looking for a simple pascal compiler, preferably pd.  any suggestions?
I would not necessarily mind a cl compiler, but would prefer an integrated.
Any suggestions?

While your at it, you might suggest a good one for C as well.  I will be 
looking at those soon too.  I have been eyeing Magamax C at present.
