Howdy y'all

I was wondering if any of you knew anything about the Pascal compiler that SGI had. It's not in the latest MIPSPro, and I'm not sure if it's in the MIPSPro or if it's part of the IDO, which would kinda suck.

Any info anyone can provide would be apprecaited!

from what I recall it was only for old systems and wont run on 6.5, but I don't think I ever actually ran across it

[praetor]

Yeah. I'm kinda getting that impression too. I can't find alot of info about it.

The Pascal compiler was ISO Pascal, not Turbo Pascal.

I think the last version was 7.1 corresponding to MIPSpro 7.1 for IRIX 6.4. I have that one, and some others for IRIX 4.0 and 5.3.

Oh sweet! Is there anyway I could get MP 7.1 from ya? :3

I think the Borland DOS IDEs were some of the best development environments ever, outside of NeXTStep and Xcode.

There's FreePascal, which is mostly syntactically compatible with Borland Pascal. The big hangup with porting Turbo Pascal stuff to *NIX is the assumption of unhindered access to text-mode video memory.
