I'd like to hear some comments on Pascal compilers running on the ST.
The only one I've seen running is the Pascal ST+ Compiler.
It may be OK for developing programs on the ST but certainly not for
porting programs from other machines. It limits the size of local storage
to 32k and does not accept input lines which are longer than 79 characters
(very stupid -- punched cards are out of date, aren't they?).
Both limitations are not documented (at least not in the german version
of the manual).
So if anybody out there knows anything about MCC, Prospero or other
Pascal Compilers: say it! Do they have bugs/limitations which are
unacceptable ?
Any comments are welcome.
