[comp.sys.mac] LSP status?

mfi@beach.cis.ufl.edu (Mark Interrante) (02/08/88)

What is the current version of LSP? does it run with MACIIs and multifinder?

I have heard alot on the net about LSC future releases is LSP going to be 
enhanced as well or is it FINISHED?

We are considering using LSP or MPW and it is a single language/two person
project does anyone have any recomindations?

The current version of Lightspeed Pascal is version 1.11; it works
on the Macintosh II and the new system software, but it does not 
run correctly under MultiFinder.

Lightspeed Pascal is by no means finished. Unfortunately, I can't discuss
the new features, and I don't know exactly the timetable for the next
release; it's not far off, I do know that.

For a one-language, two-person project, use Lightspeed Pascal. The turnaround's
fast, and integrating the two sets of sources is simple and easy. I have
firsthand knowledge to back it up, but I can't talk about that either... :-)

Re: LSP status

It would also be nice if the new versions of LS Pascal and C included version
control tools (ie something resembling RCS would be nice!). I can hardly wait
for a symbolic debugger in LS C in the way LS Pascal provides. 

Keep up the great work THINK!

				 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
While the LS Pascal debugger is famous, I do not find myself using Pascal for
my development. The problem is that the LS-P environment isn't after all
equal to the real environment that a program runs in. LS C comes much closer
to the normal mac program environment (Of course there's the extra resource
file and a lot of extra resources).

I'm happy that LS C will have symbolic debugging, but I also hope that the
old way of developing programs will be available. I'd be quite satisfied if
it had a "no-symbol-debug-run" option as an extra. (I don't want to build
the program in order to do this.)
