  ICD, Inc.  (I have their BBS number handy, but I don't have their
support line.  BBS:  (815)968-2229) markets Personal Pascal, one of the mai
Pascal compilers for the ST.  It is a clc, but it has a GEM shell which
makes development a lot easier than from just a command line.  

  Prospero Pascal (don't have any numbers here) is also a decent compiler,
and from what I understand, it is based off of Turbo (but it still a clc -
won't find any integrated Pascal compilers on the ST).

  Those are the only two that I can think of... I would have problems
recommending Personal Pascal to somebody planning to write commercial
software, though - I have written several shareware programs in Personal
Pascal, and not one of them is compatible with the Atari or Supra hard disk
drivers.  Seeing that ICD makes Personal Pascal, and that it only works with
ICD boot software, I am a wee bit suspicious.
 
  Hope this helps!@
