[comp.sys.mac] Problems with Macintosh Pascal 2.0

dcbii@ncrcae.Columbia.NCR.COM (dcbii) (10/14/89)

Anyone out there remember Macintosh Pascal or ever use it?  I got it a few
years ago in college, and still use it occasionally.

My problem is this:  When I load programs that were written 3 years ago with
Mac Pascal, the formatting is all screwed up, especially in the comments.  For
some reason the characters actually write over each other.  I could, of
course, reformat the comments, but this would be a large task, and I don't see
why it would be necessary.  I can read the comments by changing the width of
the tabs, but that makes my lines EXTREMELY long.

Does anyone know what's going on?  The programs have not been edited since
they were finished 3 years ago, so they haven't been reformatted by another
program.

By the way I'm using this on (no flames please!) a 512K Mac unenhanced with
Finder 4.1 and whichever system went with that finder.  It works for Mac
Pascal, so I still use that system occasionally.  I don't yet have a hard
disk for my new IIcx, so I still need a system with adequate storage (a
1-floppy IIcx is hard to work with, to say the least).

Anyone know what's going on?
