Home of Irie Pascal

Borland C++ is a commercial tool that includes an IDE. The Borland C++ IDE can be configured to work with Irie Pascal (i.e. launch the compiler, capture the compiler messages, and parse the compiler messages). The following is a description of how to configure the Borland C++ IDE to work with Irie Pascal. NOTE: This description is for Borland C++ 5.0, but the procedure for version 4.5 should be similar.

First select Tools... from the Options menu. You should get a dialog box like the one shown below:

Click on the New button and you get another dialog, which you should fill out as shown below:

The really important fields are the Path field and the Command Line field. The path field should contain the full pathname of the Irie Pascal Compiler (you can use the Browse button to locate the compiler). The Command Line field should contain
  -mb $CAP MSG(BORL2MSG) $SAVE PROMPT $EDNAME
After filling out these fields click on the Advanced button to bring up a dialog box like the one shown below.

Select Translator as the Tool Type, and select Place on Tools Menu in Tools Usage, and select Target Translator. The Translate From field should contain .pas and the Translate To field should contain .ivm.

The configuration is now complete and Irie Pascal Compiler (or whatever name you decided to put in the name field) should appear in the Tools Menu. Don't forget to save the configuration by selecting Save from the Options Menu.

Using Irie Pascal with Borland C++ is very easy once the configuration is complete. You just use the built-in text editor to create your Pascal source files and then compile them by selecting Irie Pascal Compiler from the Tools Menu. The compiler will be launched and start compiling whatever file is in the current text editor window, compiler messages will be put in the Message Window, and double-clicking on an Error or Warning message will take you to the line referred to by the message.

Borland C++ seems to have been replaced by Borland C++  Builder but you can still search borland.com for further information.
