One of these days I'd really like to play with a
UCSD PASCAL system,
largely
to get a feel of how well it worked.
UCSD P-system was tightly integrated with menues and what amounts the
then
equivelent of an modern IDE. From the main system menu you go fo into
the filer
or editor, from the editor you could compile and run a program. If the
compiler
fails you end up back in the editor (screen oriented) with the cursor at
the first
error. In 1978 that was a truely advanced development environment.
active with Amiga's around, they'd have a
better idea). That tells me
that
a 486 or lower won't really be able to cut it when
it comes to JAVA.
Java will run on any 386 or higher, I've done it though it gets slow.
