Re: [fpc-other] Original Version of Photoshop Was Written in Pascal; Source Released
Wonder if it was still a p-code compiler back then, as it was based on Microsoft Pascal, which was based on UCSD Pascal. http://www.edm2.com/index.php/Microsoft_Pascal Jeff.

p.s. "learn to play drums in 4 lessons".. okay but I am a drummer and it took me a little longer than that ;-) Guess it depends on how long each lesson lasts! Jeff ___ fpc-other maillist - fpc-other@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-other

However unlike the main processor I believe these have to be programmed in assembler. I believe the two I/O processors are Cortex M0 and can be programmed in just about anything, probably even FPC with a little work. Nice in that realtime tasks can be handled with dedicated CPUs while user interfaces can be done in non realtime code.

In C, I have an include to make everything read like u8, s16, u32 etc, and never use internal type names at all except occasionally for simple loop counters where the count is low. Should I need to do any 64 bit FPC, I'll probably do something similar for all my sources, and curse every time I use someone else's that breaks.
