I am interested in learning PASCAL on the Apple // series computers.  I
have a version of PASCAL which runs on the ][+ (1.0?), but not on the
//c, or so my wife tells me.  Perhaps some of you could advise me on which
PASCAL is the best for Apple //'s.  I am interested in the following
criteria:

   1.  The implementation should run on Apple //e, //c, and, if possible
       the ][+ as well.

   2.  Should be reasonable in price.  (i.e. under $100.00).

   3.  Produces executable code as opposed to P-code (U.C.S.D. PASCAL
       does this, I think.  I prefer stand-alone executables).

   4.  Provides a good example of the language even if the product is from
       a little known company. 

   5.  Has good documentation.

Since PASCAL is new to me, some of the criteria I have mentioned may seem
naive.  Anyway, I would appreciate your help.

Aside from the fact that pure machine code takes so much room that you
can't run a big program on an Apple that way, the p-system from
Pecan Software, 1410 39th St, Brooklyn, NY 11218 may be just what you
want.  It is p-code, but there is a native code generator for the part
that needs to be fast.  Compile/edit cycle is pretty good.
