I am looking for a way to transfer by Borlan Pascal files created on a IBM-PC compatiable to the AMIGA. Borlan start to release a Pascal complier a while ago. Does any one have any suggestions on how to transfer my BOrlan 3.0 pascal files to the AMIGA and then recompile them? If there is a way I could really help my buddies with their AMIGAS. ^Z help

Mike, Transfering the files is the easy part. A NULL MODEM CABLE and two terminal programs will do it, as will a program like DISK-TO-DISK (or was it DOS-TO-DOS?) with the Amiga 5 1/4" drive. I think even 1.2 came with some utilities to transfer PC type files from the 5 1/4" drive. The hard part will be compiling them. Borland has YET to release Turbo Pascal for the Amiga. I guess it's one of those "don't hold your breath" situations. Lloyd

He would want DOS2DOS. DISK2DISK was the C64 converter. ../greg

It's DOS-2-DOS, and I recommend it highly; a carefully done, useful program. –Ben–

Ben, I agree with your assesment. I just couldn't remember which-was-which at the time. If you need file transfer to IBM or Commodore 8 bit formats, these are very good products. Lloyd

Mike: You can run Turbo Pascal (IBM Version) on the Amiga with Transformer. It's slow but it will work. Just don't try to do graphics. I don't know if that is what you had in mind but it is one way to go. Good luck, Ted
