Description:
PP is a ISO standard Pascal compiler for PalmOS.
It generates true native 68000 executable code (.PRC) from Pascal source code.
You can use your favorite Palm DOC editor to write your code and either run PP from the VFSdos console or use the included UI shell PPShell to compile and run your program.
The language syntax is mostly compliant to the ISO 1775:1990.
Update Description:
v2.00 (2003 May 2nd):
- PP is now able to compile armlet and may generate true ARM native code in addition to the standard 68000 mode.

In my six years of owning Palm PDAs, this is one of the most significant peices of software I have ever had the pleasure of HotSyncing! A nearly complete implementation of the Pascal Language that you can run on your PDA and create lightning fast compiled apps with it - and no need for run-time libraries. You can build text-based programs or with a bit more work it is possible to create full GUI interfaces. It works great on my old Palm 3c - BUT has amazing support for new Palm OS5 devices - including Hires support for my new Tungsten (and the ability to compile native ARM code which is blisteringly fast). This is a project to watch - and anyone who has any experience with Pascal or Delphi is well advised to download this monster triumph of programming RIGHT NOW!
