- Think Pascal 4 is pretty old, and doesn't know about 32-bit addressing,
- and was not written cleanly for it. It doesn't like System 7, and REALLY
- doesn't like 32-bit addressing, which I don't think you can turn off in
- shapeshifter. If you do get it to work, I would expect it to crash *VERY*
- often. If you are just doing basic pascal, i.e. no graphics or anything
- mac specific, I would write all the programs in a pascal compiler for your
- amiga, and as long as they are just basic console-type programs, they
- shouldn't need much modification to work in Think Pascal 4.
