This is in response to Peter Wisnovsky's post dated Nov. 7...


I have heard that Think is working on the Object Pascal extensions to
Lightspeed Pascal, as well as an LSP-compatible version of MacApp. I can't
confirm that; does anyone else have a comment? Perhaps I should call Think up
and ask them....

TML Pascal 2.0 does not come with MacApp. It comes with the Object Pascal
extensions built in, but a TML-Compatible MacApp was not available. I
understand that that too will soon be available.

I would probably look for the next version of Lightspeed to have some bug
fixes, and just maybe Object Pascal will be in there too...

I understand that Object Pascal can really slow down a compiler. A friend
uses MPW (the Macintosh Programmer's Workshop, from Apple) at work, and he
says that the regular Pascal compiles about as fast as TML, but the Object
Pascal code compiles much more slowly... Of course, with LSP, even 3000 lines
a minute is slow, so the speed difference may not be as much of an
irritation.

A side note... I understand that MPW really loses as far as turnaround time
goes. Yet another friend, who has used MPW, prefers LightspeedC, simply
because it's (literally) a hundred times faster than MPW, and the same goes
for LSP -- it's two orders of magnitude faster at compilation/link/launch
time than TML is...
