I have just talked with a representative of Pecan Software about their
Power System Family of Apple IIGS software development tools.  He says
that they operate in 16-bit mode, but do not yet support Toolbox calls.
He further says that in about a month they will begin to release
compilers which *do* support Toolbox calls.

Does anyone have any experience with these PASCAL based tools for the
IIGS?  Specifically, I would like to know how much memory is required
for the system.  The person I talked to thought that 128K was enough
for the programming environment software Pecan is selling.  He was not
emphatic, however, which makes me a little nervous.  I am searching for
software development systems or languages that can run on the standard
IIGS memory configuration.  (The 128K I mentioned above refers to the
IIGS side of RAM.)  Also, does the software come in 5.25" format (I
forgot to ask him this one)?

Thanks for any information on this matter.
