                     Speed-Pascal/2
        An object-oriented Pascal Compiler for OS/2

"If Borland was to create a Borland Pascal for OS/2, there would be nearly no
difference to Speed, I suppose."

Dr. Abimbola Olowofoyeku
The Pascal Magazine, April/Mai 1995

If you want to create

- NATIVE 32-bit OS/2 applications
- for OS/2 PRESENTATION MANAGER(tm)
- or for OS/2 TEXTMODE
- in a FAST AND EASY way

Then SpeedSoft's SPEED-PASCAL/2 is THE TOOL OF CHOICE FOR YOU !

Some of the highlights :

* Borland Pascal 7.0 compatible compiler
* full featured WPS-integrated IDE included
  * integrated fully WordStar (tm) compatible editor
  * Enable CUA compatibility with just one mouse click
  * All tools can be used through the IDE
    * The PM-based MDI-editor
    * The integrated sourcelevel debugger
    * The 32-bit OS/2 compiler
    * The resource compiler
    * The impressive visual resource editor
    * The context-sensitive help system
  * If you do not like our editor, well, use your favourite one !
    * Use our command-line compiler
    * Use the impressive visual resource editor as external tool
    * Compile your resources with the external command-line
      resource-compiler
* 32 Bit native EXE-Code and DLL generation
* Code generation for a flat memory model (no segmentation)
* manages heaps of up to 256MB of size
* full access to the OS/2 API
* generation of multi-threaded programs
* integrated development environment (IDE)
* visual resource-editor
* extensive class library
* generation of assembler source
* generation of debug information for use with the integrated debugger
* no runtime-fees
* update to release 1.5 is free of charge
* new SPU-structure for faster compile-cycles
* new, "intelligent" make
  * Hasta lavista (tm), Make Files ...
  * No more .LIB, .DEF, .C, .H, .RC and .MAK file confusion
    Our intelligent project management system does it all for you !
  * administration trough comfortable dialogs directly from the IDE
  * All compiler and linker settings are kept within your project
* all 80386/486 address-modes are implemented
* BP 8.0 (Delphi) compatibility
  * classes
  * properties for classes/objects
  * indexed properties
  * class-functions for classes
  * public and protected parts of classes and objects
  * runtime type information
  * runtime object-identification
* Turbo-Vision Patch allows porting of existing TV-Applications

Speed-Pascal/2 was completely rewritten since release 1.0. The following
differences are in existence between release 1.0 and release 1.5:

* the compiler is nearly 3 times faster now
* identifier scoping
* open arrays
* STRING-Type now fully BP-compatible
* smaller and faster programs
* support of more complex function-types
* Sets can keep up to 256 elements

Currently we are working on release 2.0, which will include the following
features :

* Support for Win32s and Win32-Systems
* portable library for OS/2 and Win95
* Visual development environment like Delphi
  Applications can be created visually or "manually".
  The visual application environment is specialized on portable programming
* Applications which were created using Speed-Pascal will be compilable
  under OS/2 and Win32 without any changes on source-level.
  This only excludes platform specific API-calls
