A Pascal compiler from Hisoft. 2 Versions of this Pascal were made. Original version Hisoft Pascal 4T, (Tape) aka Hisoft Pascal (Disc) was Distributed through AMSOFT was designed to compile code under AMSDOS. Hisoft Pascal 80 was later released through Hisoft, on Disc and operated though CP/M, though could produce files for the AMSDOS version, though have the ability of producing CP/M 2.2 programs and CP/M Plus programs as well as allow support to GSX.
Contents
Reviews
HiSoft Pascal was reviewed in Amstrad Computer User ACU Issue 2, 1984, page 48. That article relates to some of the benefits gained from using Pascal Compiler and presents examples in Pascal and BASIC along with their execution times, to show how Compilers benefit over Interpreted.
A review of Hisoft Pascal was also done in Amstrad Computer User ACU Issue 11, 1985, page 21-23, by Simon Williams.
Other Material
An article to Starting Pascal was published in ACU Issue 8, 1985, pages 29-31, which included one seemly long program with a few Firmware Procedures to assist along with the program, though after compiling it, haven't been able to determine it's function.
