I have been programming with PC based Pascal compilers (Turbo Pascal, etc.) for a long time. I now need to program 8051 and AVR uC and would like to stick with Pascal. I have seen the Embedded Pascal's from E-lab and The Embedded Pascal Page but would like feedback from users as to how they compare to each other? Which one is more powerful, flexible, fastest?
Thanks.

Rob,
I finished about 20 AVR projects with Rainier Lamers Embedded Pascal in the last three years successfully. So far, I can recommend the compiler. The compiler produces compact and stable code. The syntax is close to Turbo Pascal/Delphi.
However, I have big troubles with the latest Version 2.11. I reached an internal compiler limit with one project (app. 5000 lines of code). I reported the problem to Rainier in April and he promised to increase the internal limits. This did not happen. Since he did not response to mails, I am afraid that he might be out of business.
Regards, Bernd Mueller
