[comp.sys.mac.misc] TurboPascal Help?

quinn@unix.cis.pitt.edu (Clark Quinn) (03/05/91)

My SO is taking a data structures class in Pascal.  I purchased a used
copy of Turbo Pascal to allow her to do her assignments at home on our
Mac II.  However, she is now having problems with printing out her
assignments.  She can get them to run, and she can print out the
listings.  However, she *cannot* get the program to run and print the
output to the printer!  At least, not completely.  The program will (if
I understand correctly) print up to a page and then hang, or will wait
for input and then quit rather than continuing.  This is Turbo Pascal
Version 1.1.  My questions are, does anyone know what might be the
problem?  If the problem is fixed in a newer version, what is the
newest version?  Is there a way to get the newest version?  I heard
that Borland was abandoning Turbo Pascal for the Mac.  Is this true?
If so, I would feel no compunctions about grabbing the latest version
in whatever way I could.

We do *not* want to spend the money to buy Lightspeed (Think?) Pascal
since we *have* their version of C, and so the only time we'd use the
Pascal is for this one class.  We just don't want to (can't) spend that 
much money.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  My peace of mind is at stake!
Thanks in advance, -- Clark
