There has been recent mention of how Lightspeed Pascal crashes on
Mac II's. The reason is that the 68020 has a slightly different
exception stack frame than the 68000 (that the other Macs use); it's
two bytes smaller, or something like that.
MacWrite crashes for the same reason.
Anyway, I understand that there is a slightly newer version of Lightspeed
Pascal (a beta-test version) that has been fixed to work on
68020 machines, and has some minor code-generation bugs fixed.
If you're a registered owner of Lightspeed Pascal, call them and
explain your problem, and THINK will send a nondisclosure agreement
for you to sign, and after you return it, they'll send the
new LSP (which comes with new versions of MacPasLib, ROM85Lib, ROM85,
and Small PasLib Project).
