- Does anybody out there know why Microsoft have not released a version
- of PASCAL since version 4.0 which was (I think) released around the
- same time as C 4.0.
-
- I have an application that is written partly in Microsoft PASCAL and
- partly in Microsoft C. For some reason which I can't recall at this
- moment, the PASCAL will not link with versions of MS C higher than 5.1.
-
- I know I could convert the PASCAL to C or perhaps use Turbo PASCAL but
- that doesn't answer the question .... why did Microsoft dump it ?
