[comp.unix.microport] Pascals for Microport Unix?

felsenst@entropy.ms.washington.edu (Joe Felsenstein) (10/29/88)

Are there any decent 386 Pascal compilers available for Microport Unix?
I have just ordered uPort SysV/386 for a system I am upgrading to an 80386.
Someone at MicroPort told me about a compiler called LPI Pascal, and I have
got literature from LPI.  I seem to recall having heard that Green Hills
also has a Pascal compiler but I know nothing else about it.

Does anyone have any experience with any Pascal compiler(s) for MicroPort
SysV/386 that they could share with me (e-mail addresses below)?

PLEASE: Pascal versus C flames to /dev/null --I have a reason for
specifically wanting Pascal.  Thanks in advance.  Will summarize rresponses.

I am using metaware's pascal with good results. Optimizations
are good, it interfaces cleanly to C, and has a lot of
Ada - like extensions that make for good systems programming.

The cost is a little high ($800), but I feel worth it.
