Turbo Pascal's Run command runs the program loaded in memory. Can the development environment run also programs that take command line arguments, without compiling to a file and exiting to CCP? Is there any way of doing this under CP/M-80 or CP/M-86, not M/PM or Concurrent CP/M?

Yes.

ParamCount and ParamStr functions work in programs that are compiled to COM, and in programs run from memory. Use the P command in the IDE.

I think (haven't checked) that this was introduced in Turbo Pascal 3.

The command P may have been introduced in a later version as I can't find it in the Turbo Pascal 3 IDE.

I stand corrected, Fridtjof is right. Turbo Pascal 3 does support the "command line Parameter" under "compiler Options" but only under CP/M-86. The CP/M-80 version of the IDE provides the equivalent "eXecute" main menu command for running arbitrary programs, for example the one under development.

Paolo

Yes! This is not in CP/M-80, X does work, and passes args.

I wonder what that involved. Presumably the memory holding the RTL and below would
be trashed by the executing program.

Reverse engineered source exists for both the CP/M and x86 versions of Turbo Pascal. Adding support for the 'P' option to the CP/M version might be an interestion project.
