I find that Turbo Pascal works very well with limited memory and disk space.
Doesn't require that you configure RAMDisks and other stuff.
In the olden days before I started working at Apple, I developed with
TurboPascal on a 512K Mac (NOT 512e!) I distrust using RAMDisks during
development because of the compile-run-CRASH cycle.
If you got more disk space (like 2 floppies) the Symantec THINK products
(did I say that right? :-)) are easier to use.
Basically, Turbo Pascal is very tiny but packs quite a bit of punch. It lacks
source level debugging and project management that Lightspeed Pascal has.
Lightspeed C does not (yet) have source level debuggin but is very
fast.
Please mail me if you want more details. I have development extensively
in my pre-Apple life in Lightspeed Pascal, Turbo Pascal, and Lightspeed C.
Now I use MPW.
I have no connection with Symantec/THINK or Borland. This is NOT an official
Apple position or endorsement - just my own tuesday night ramblings.
