LR> What OS/2 ISO Pascals are you referring to Peter?

There were several 16bit OS/2 compilers (Microsoft, IBM, Topspeed), I do
not know if they are still on the market.  Topspeed's probably is (they
have a modula-2 too).

Most people don't want anything other than Borland's mutated
"pascal",so they are not happy with a compiler that only
recognizes pascal.

Topspeed has also mutated the language,  but not in a compatible way with Borland.

Someone asked for clarification.  We discuss the development of native OS/2
code here.   Some of your current threads should probably be moved to
netmail.


VDM/Winos2 issues are almost always technical problems with OS/2 itself,and
*not programming issues*;  you program for VDM/Winos2 the same way as you
program for DOS/Windows,  and there are plenty of forums available for
that.  If you are having trouble with OS/2,  there are plenty of forums for
that too.  There is a forum dedicated to VDM/Winos2 issues for pete's sake!

This echo was created to serve programmer's writing native OS/2 code. The
less traffic the better.

This echo has nothing to do with IBM.
