TP / TPMAC - PC / MACINTOSH PORTABILITY
Q. How portable is the PC version of Turbo Pascal to the
Macintosh?
A. Any Portion of the program that is Standard Pascal will port
over nicely. However, the PC and the Macintosh are two
completely different machines and any PC or Macintosh
specific code will have to be rewritten. PC programmers will
generally want to rewrite the user interface so that is
similar to what Macintosh users expect to see on a serious
Macintosh application.

TPMAC 1.0 1.1 READLN WRITELN - THE MISSING SUPPORT UNIT ERROR

is missing when I try to use a Readln or Writeln.
A. Take out the {$U-} directive. It causes the PasConsole and
PasInOut units to not link in with the program and units.
