making pascal exe

Started by
2 comments, last by arophous 19 years, 9 months ago
I have started programming in Pascal and so far i seemed to have a good concept of the language and can make programs from it, i only have one tiny problem... Does anyone know how i would convert the .pas files or .bak files into a .exe file. Its just so i can test my programs without the Pascal enviroment...oh yeh im a new to this forum and i have a game currently under development but it looks like it will take a while. Thanks

The only Pascal packages I've used have included compilers that do this job. For example, Turbo Pascal includes a compiler and is freely available for download.

Okay, what i should of said then is...how come my Borland Turbo Pascal 7.0 compiler will not make .exe files...it only makes .bak which cannot be run.
never mind, i had an idea, a hunch and have found that the exe's are stored in the work directory unless changed...sorry bout that...

happy programming :)
