A Pascal development system from MetaWare that ran on DOS and VAX/VMS, with editions later appearing for AT&T UNIX. Professional Pascal has full cross-development features, any version of a PP host can generate code for any other version, however you had to purchase a full compiler for each system to take advantage of this feature as each development system only came with code generation and libraries for its host system.
