[comp.sys.atari.st] Magic Sac Compatible with LightSpeed Pascal Yet?

Mark_OBryan@UM.CC.UMICH.EDU (07/08/88)

Does anyone happen to know if the updated version of LightSpeed
Pascal (v1.11, I believe), which now runs on the Mac II, runs on
the Magic Sac or not?
 
I'm considering porting our Omni-Banker ST program (a universal
MIDI librarian) to the Macintosh, and need to decide between
LightSpeed and Turbo Pascal.  If LightSpeed Pascal still does
not run on the Sac, that simplifies my choice somewhat.  :-)

	Both LightSpeed C and LightSpeed Pascal require the 128K or
later ROMs, so they won't work on the current 64K ROM Magic Sac.
The updates made to LightSpeed Pascal for the Mac II were not
related to what ROM version it requires.  Turbo Pascal doesn't require
the 128K ROMs so it will run on the current Magic Sac.

Dan Moore said that Lightspeed C didn't run on the 64K Magic Sac.  It does
as of version 2.15 (I wrote an enhanced MagicBeep in it!).  3.0 (just
started shipping) does require the 128K's though.
