I've inherited a Mac application that was done in Pascal with the Lisa
Workshop.  I don't have a Lisa available, and would probably want to
move it to a native Mac development environment anyway.  I took a quick
pass at compiling it with LS Pascal, and found numerous
incompatibilities (external declarations, -exit- statement, type
coercion) some of which are non-trivial to rewrite.  So, a couple of
questions:

1) Is MPW Pascal compatible with Lisa Pascal?  Or at least more
compatible than LS Pascal?  
2) Is there a Pascal conversion utility similar to the one available
for porting assembler programs from Lisa's to MPW?  If so, is it any
good?

Any other advice from people who have done similar ports is warmly
solicited.  Thanks, David
