HiSoft Devpac 3

1.11

Dev pac Version 3 is here at last. The two earlier versions of HiSoft Devpac for the

Amiga set a standard in 68000 assembly language programming which was hard to

surpass, but we think that w

lift, from the editor through to the debugger; in fact so many features have been

added and improved that we feel conﬁdent in the claim that Devpac 3 is the ultimate

assembly language development system on Me Amiga for mow!

The Editor

A new multi-window editor with

bookmarks, mouse block-marldng,

mac ros , complete window ﬂexibility

(including multi-views on one ﬁle),

extensive user conﬁguration and full

integration with the other Devpac

programs. The editor makes use of

Workbench 2 or 1.3 automatically.

The Assembler

Improved and extended, the Devpac 3

assembler is now at least 40% faster than

its predecessor (without pre-assembly),

supports the full 68CtxO range of proces-

sors including the maths co-processors

and has a tremendous number of

switchable optimisations. With the

ability to pre-assemble ﬁles for inclusion.

it can now claim to be the fastest

assembler on the Amiga.

Devpac 3 gives complete control

over the assembly process

The Debugger

Dev pac 3 is provided with a versatile

debugger/disassembler for hog hunting and

ease of learning. You can have as many views

on your program as you like, including its

source code; then set breakpoints, single-step

instructions etc. even at a source code level.

Again, there is support for all the new

processors and the ﬂoating point chips.

Derpac 3 comes complete with all the necessary

include ﬁles, a linker, many examples and a clear.

helpful manual.

HighSpeed Pascal

At last, a new Pascal compiler for your Amiga; HighSpeed Pascal. Compiling at close to

20 000 lines per minute on a humble A500 and with a fully integrated environment

(based on the new HiSoft multi-window editor), HighSpeed Pascal is the answer to

your programming prayers.

The compiler is very close to the standard set by Turbo Pascal Son the PC and enables

you to port programs directly from the PC or ST - even the BGI unit is provided for

graphic compatibility. You can compile separate units, link with assembler or use the

inline assembler provided and we also supply a special version of our 680x0 debugger

whic h allows you to debug Pascal programs at a source code level.

The full Pascal language is supported including such worthy additions as structured

constant.. ﬂexible string handling and absolute variables.

Highs peed Pascal comes complete with

all the necessary ﬁles for working with

the Antiga's operating system, a host of

examples and a professional, ring-bound

manual.
