anyone know of a good free Pascal compiler ? thanks Frank
Good is a bit subjective, there are however some free compilers if you think they are good or not is limited by your needs (ANSI Standards) / OS which you didn't mention and request for a free one. Linux/Windows systems and others, http://www.gnu-pascal.de/gpc/h-index.html http://www.freepascal.org/ Newsgroup / FAQ for comp.compilers http://compilers.iecc.com/ If I didn't know these already a simple search using www.google.com would have found these in a couple of quick searches. <snip> Me
i should have also mentioned that it's for a small group of high school students to get a taste of programming (Windows)
For writing Windows apps or just a feel for Pascal? If it's just Pascal the earlier links will do. Remember the newsgroup info I posted last time. The only thing for Windows apps, I can think of is Borland Delphi (or Kylix for Linux). You could try www.borland.com check educational deals , sometimes near the end of the year (Borland UK) there is a sale of current / older products. Then there are places like, don't know of a US version http://www.greymatter.com/ Prospero (commercial) http://www.greymatter.com/Buyers/gmhome/sr3_prdidx.asp?id=22082 More from www.google.com http://www.vpascal.com/ http://www.thefreecountry.com/compilers/pascal.shtml <snip> Me
