Our research group at Berkeley is developing software for the Macintosh.
Until recently we had been doing so via the Lisa development system, but
we then discovered SUMacC, and thought the Messiah had come.
Unfortunately, the decision has been made to stick with Pascal, and
SUMacC has no Pascal compiler. Moreover, the SUMacC people have no plans,
as far as I know, to produce one in the near-future. Some other people at
Stanford have produced a Pascal compiler that generates 68000 code, but
the author of that system has told me that he has no immediate plans to
port it for Macintosh programming use. Close, but no cigar.
So, ideally someone at Slippery Rock U. (or elsewhere) is finishing up
a development system w/Pascal compiler that runs on a VAX and produces
MAC code. If you're out there, can you let me know?
Are there any plans to add a Pascal compiler to the MANX system, if it
doesn't already exist?
Is anyone else interested in this information, or are you all doing
the smart thing and using C on a VAX (and ignoring Pascal)?
