Prospero Extended Pascal: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 21:56, 29 August 2019

A development environment for ISO 10206 Pascal with object oriented extensions, sometimes known as Extended Pascal to differentiate it from ISO 7185 Pascal (ETH P4) which is sometimes referred to as Standard Pascal. The Prospero Extended Pascal is notable as one of the earliest fully 32 bit development systems for OS/2 that came from outside IBM. The package was sold from 1993 to 2003 by Prospero Software Ltd.

The company later ported the package to DOS and 32 bit Microsoft Windows, the DOS and OS/2 versions could also develop programs for 16 bit Windows or Win-OS/2 with an optional library and linker package. Sales of all versions have been dropped but the company offers the 32 bit Windows version as a free download.
