Summary: Pecan Pascal System...


The Pecan Pascal systems are the current embodiments of UCSD Pascal.  I
don't know about their current system for the //gs, but their earlier
systems ran under the P-System not Prodos.  If I were you I would not develop
anything for the //gs that runs outside of the Prodos environment.  If
you do you can forget about hard disks, some ram disks, 3.5 inch drives
, desk accessories, etc. etc.  Check with them very carefully before buying
on this point.  TML Pascal and Kayan Pascal are both new Pascal systems
for the //gs that take advantage of the new features and run under Prodos.
That gives them the ability to run all of those Prodos devices, and more
importantly to let other programs coexist with yours.
