Turbo Pascal for the Apple II (native, not CP/M)

[A2CPM]

Hi, y'all!

Almost exactly two years ago I made a run at translating the MS/
DOS version of version 3.01 of Turbo Pascal so that it would run on a
system using a 6502 CPU. I mentioned my effort in a thread in this
group. But, when the futility of such a project became apparent to
me, I gave up on it.

Recently, two disassemblies of the CP/M version of TP v3 became
available to me. I've written a program in Turbo Pascal that
translates the source files for a standalone version of the TP
compiler, created by Werner Cirsovius. The output of the translator,
when assembled, creates a 6502 compiler that is robust enough to
successfully parse the source file for the translation program. At
the moment, the 6502 compiler is a cross-compiler in that it generates
Z80 machine language, not 6502 machine language. That way, I can take
test source files and compare the output of the 6502 compiler against
the output of the Z80 compiler to find where the 6502 compiler is not
compiling correctly.
