Hi,

Just wondering, is there _any_ OS/2 specific Pascal compiler out there
yet?  I heard that Lightspeed Pascal is out.  How is that?  Is it 32-bit?

Thanks for any answers.

TopSpeed, actually.  I have it, and it isn't too bad.  The
documentation could stand some improvement.  The technical support has
been pretty good.  It is still 16-bit, but Clarion has been
insinuating that there will be a 32-bit version.

The only 32-bit Pascal on the market right now is Microway's.

  Actually, there's a PD program that converts pascal to c, then you can run
that through EMX.  Disadvantage: A little klugy, but you could write a REXX
script to automate it ( I love REXX! ).  ADVANTAGES: It makes 32-bit code,
emx optimizes VERY well, and you've turned it into c, which is usually
more portable.
