To: ALL (CP/M users) Does anyone know how I can make .COM files with JRT PASCAL. The best I could do is use the linker and get .IN2 files. What should I do from here? I do not have a manual for JRT and have been running programs using the EXECUTE.COM program. HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!!! Disclaimer: My employer assumes no responsibility for my opinions or actions. As a matter of fact, I don't even claim responsibility for my opinions or actions. (Say, why does everybody put these things in their news items anyway?)

I had versions 2.0 and 3.0, sold off last year at a swap meet. Your best bet is to go to Turbo Pascal, which is ever so much more supported in the public domain. You'll get the advantage of a compiled language instead of JRT, which contains a byte-code interpreter (again as I remember), within EXECUTE.COM so that is the only way to run your programs. I would be willing to bet that you can find a used CP/M version of Turbo Pascal, version 2 or 3 for under $40 at a local swap meet, WITH the manuals. Rob Peck

Unless changed by a subsequent version, I have Ver 3.0, I believe that the only way to run JRT compiled files is through EXEC.COM. Independent COM files are not produced. It has been some time since I have used JRT Pascal, but a quick look through "Ver. 3.0 JRT Pascal User's Guide" seems to confirm my memory. -- Michael J.
