I'm not too sure about this, but I've heard that there a Turbo Pascal
in the works for the Mac, due to be released sometime in the near
future.  If you're looking to port Pascal programs from the PC to the
Mac, having Turbo Pascal on both of them would simplify the
translation process (because, as we all know, not all Pascals are
created equal).  Since the PC version lets you compile to a COM file,
the Mac version would most likely also let you compile to a standalone
executable.  You would probably want to check with Borland about its
availability (if it truly exists).
