 I am trying to port a large program in Pascal to an IBM PC.  ( The program
has already been ported successfully to apollos, suns and vaxen.)  At the 
moment I am using Turbo Pascal version 4 and have run into a major problem: 
the array size is limited to an upper bound of 256 where as the program uses
arrays upto 1000. For reasons of compatability with the versions of the program
on other machines, I am trying to keep the Pascal as "standard" as possible.

Can anyone recommend a Pascal compiler for IBM PCs which does not have this 
"feature"?  I would prefer if it was ISO standard especially with respect 
to file buffer handling (get and put).

Thanks in advance for any help,

                              Andrew Simm.
