- Why not just leave it in Pascal? There are a number of pretty good Pascal
- compilers for the 64 and 128. Pascal works ok for quite a bit of numerical
- work (complex numbers take some kludging), and because it's so highly
- structured it's relatively easy to create a numeric library and just drop
- in whatever a particular application needs. Some (most? all?) Pascal
- compilers also run with the BASIC ROM switched out, so you gain access to
- that RAM, plus the 4k above it, without having to do your own memory
- management.

- I like KMMM Pascal, BTW.
