Is there anything about this Pascal superior to the Borland pascal of the time?
- justin66 9y agoNo really, I'm asking. It would be interesting to know how they compare.
- kjs3 9y agoThere were a number of language extensions that were cool: there were a bunch of improvements to the module system, lot's of new data types, actually useful pointer/address/bit types & operators, etc. However, the big difference was that the underlying OS and HW were vastly more capable than TP, so you got a very powerful set of libraries, 3d graphics, networking with the DOMAIN OS network file system and other toys. You also got access to the Apollo C & Fortran compilers/libs. It was just a more powerful system because it ran on a more powerful platform.
