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 adavantage of this feature as each development system only came with code generation and libraries for the its host system.

Versions

Version 2.3

  • Introduced in 1986, it was mostly a "feature catchup" release, it has added features that competing systems had been introducing in the last couple of years prior, this was done both as a marketing play and to enhance compatibility.
Prerequisites
  • DOS 2.0 or higher.
  • 256k memory or more.
  • Two floppy drives or a hard drive.
