                   Creating Desk Accessories
          in Personal Pascal Versions 1.11 and Higher

In  Personal  Pascal  versions  1.11 and higher  there  is  a  new 
compiler directive: {$A+}.

Using  this  directive  tells  the compiler  to  generate  a  desk 
accessory rather than a stand-alone application.

You need to specify the stack size, and turn debug off in order to 
successfully use this directive.  We recommend a stack size of 10K 
for most accessories.

The most common usage is:

{$A+,D-,S10}

this  will tell the compiler to generate a  desk  accessory,  turn 
debug mode off, and set the stack size to 10K.

With  these  directives available you no longer need  to  run  the 
program  "PASACC"  to generate desk accessories.   You  need  only 
compile for GEM,  then rename the resulting .PRG program to  .ACC.

If  you  do  not have version 1.11 or later,  and  would  like  to 
upgrade  to  the  latest  version in order to  make  use  of  desk 
accessories,  send your MASTER copy of Personal Pascal and a check 
for  $10.00 to OSS.   Be sure to include your registration  number 
and full address.  We will be revising Personal Pascal in the near 
future so if you do not need the features described above, hold on 
to your $10 'till then.
