Speed-Pascal/2 for OS/2 Warp Ships!
"If Borland were to produce a Borland Pascal for
OS/2, I do not think that it could be very different
from (or even much better than) Speed."
Dr. Abimbola Olowofoyeku (aka The African Chief)
The Pascal Magazine, April/May 1995
It was with the words of a wise African Chief ringing in
their collective ears that SpeedSoft released Speed-Pascal/2
for OS/2 Warp version 1.0 (SP/2 1.0) on July 14th 1995.
And this was the second glowing review of SP/2 to appear in
May-- before SP/2 1.0 had actually shipped.
Speed-Pascal/2: The OS/2 Solution
At last! If you've been dying to program for OS/2 Warp, but
can't bear to spend hours debugging obscure C and overly
complex C++ code, SpeedSoft has just what you need! Speed-
Pascal/2 for OS/2!
Speed-Pascal/2 is a Borland Pascal 7.0 compatible compiler
and an integrated development environment (IDE) with a host
of features designed to ease the task of writing OS/2
Presentation Manager(TM) programs.
At last, you can use the productive programmer's language of
choice on the world's most productive operating system and
not sacrifice a thing:
NO runtime royalites!
NO huge support .DLLs!
NO lengthy compile times for small programs!
NO sluggish interpreted code!
NO limits!
Here's what awaits you in the world of Speed-Pascal/2!
An OS/2 IDE that Really Is Integrated!
The Speed-Pascal/2 environment is a suite of tools centered
around a Multiple Document Interface editor, with all the
amenities that you expect from an IDE-- and more!
From the IDE, you can access the power of the Speed-Pascal/2
tools:
A PM-based MDI editor
An integrated debugger
A 32-bit OS/2 compiler
An OS/2 Assembler
A Resource Editor and Compiler
An Inline Assembler
Context sensitive help
Tired of floundering around with disconnected compilers and
standalone debuggers? How about an editor/compiler/debugger
that takes you right to your syntax errors, and lets you
walk through your code to find those hard-to-get bugs?
Bye, Bye Make Files
With all the .LIB, .DEF, .C, .H, .RC and .MAK files you have
to create with every OS/2 project, does it sometimes seem
like you've exhausted the alphabet giving your project files
extensions? With Speed-Pascal/2 You can manage your projects
entirely from the IDE.
Don't care about linkers or compiler options? No problem.
Think the compiler should handle what files should be made
and when so you don't have to build make files? It's taken
care of. You're free to concentrate on getting the most out
of your development time.
Got Your Own Editor?
We're pretty proud of our IDE here at SpeedSoft but, hey,
SpeedSoft is all about choices! If you prefer to use your
own editor, that's fine with us. You still have access to
the tools you need:
A command line compiler
A command line assembler
A standalone resource editor
A command line resource compiler
Hate APIs?
Just because you have access to the API doesn't necessarily
mean that you want access to the API. If you're object-
oriented, you'll want to check out the Object PM Library
(OPML).
Turn that 100 line "Hello, World!" program into something a
bit more manageable with the power of objects. And OPML is
just the begining. SpeedSoft is hard at work creating a
high-powered cross-platform object-library!
Trust No One!
The last thing you need is some company telling you "Trust
us, we know what's best for you." All the source to Speed-
Pascal/2's standard interface libraries is available for you
to scrutinize.
RTFM!
Speed-Pascal comes complete with electronic versions of:
The User's Manual and Installation Guide
The Resource Workshop User's Guide
The Speed-Pascal/2 Language Reference
The Speed-Pascal/2 Subroutine Reference
The Object PM Library Tutorial
The Object PM Library Referenc
You said you wanted hard copy manuals to be an optional
extra purchase, and we salute your ecologically and
economically sound decision by offering you manuals
electronically in the three formats you're most likely to
need:
On-Line Help Format
ASCII Text (for universal access)
PostScript Format (for printing your own)
You can print the sections you want, search for whatever you
want, even make notes in the files, if you want. (Hard
copies are available at a nominal fee.)
Speed-Pascal/2 additionally comes with sample code
demonstrating the features of the compiler and OS/2.
Metal Heads Welcome
Like to program the fastest, meanest code around? You can do
pure assembly with Speed-Pascal/2, or integrate assembly
into your Pascal programs with Speed-Pascal/2's inline
assembler.
The Future
Speed-Pascal/2 for OS/2 is just the beginning for SpeedSoft.
