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. --- Joe Felsenstein, Dept. of Genetics SK-50, Univ. of Washington, Seattle WA 98195 BITNET: FELSENST@UWALOCKE INTERNET: joe@evolution.ms.washington.edu or: uw-evolution!joe@entropy.ms.washington.edu UUCP: ... uw-beaver!uw-entropy!uw-evolution!joe

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. Eric Beser Advanced Technology Coordinator
