There's good reason. Apple Pascal compiled to P-Code (which, by the way, will run on any machine running a P-interpreter). It did not compile to 6502 assembly. Part of the P-system is the P-interpreter. In order to get an Apple Pascal program to run under ProDOS, you'll need to write a P-interpreter running under ProDOS. Oog. Too much work for any one sane mind. -- Dave Whitney Computer Science MIT 1990 | I wrote Z-Link and BinSCII. Send me bug dcw@lcs.mit.edu | reports. I need a job. Send me an offer.
