A week or so ago I posted a request for info regarding the compatibility of the Lisa Workshop Pascal with MPW Pascal, specifically interested in the difficulty of porting a fairly large program (which LightSpeed Pascal did NOT like) to a native Mac environment. I got about 20 responses, both posted here in by e-mail. Some told of porting as much as 400K lines of software, and without exception, ALL RESPONDENTS FOUND MPW TO BE HIGHLY COMPATIBLE. The major problem (other than changing USE statements and make files) was that Lisa Pascal did not check for uniqueness of routine names beyond 8 characters, and MPW does. Thanks, everyone, for the help! -- David Lassner, University of Hawaii Computing Center, 808/948-7351 INTERNET: david@uhccux.uhcc.hawaii.edu PLATO: david/p/hawaii UUCP: {ihnp4,uunet,ucbvax,dcdwest}!sdcsvax!nosc!uhccux!david BITNET/OTHER: david%uhccux.uhcc.hawaii.edu@rutgers.edu
