The Pascal Macro Compiler is now available. The Pascal Macro Compiler is a preprocessor or code generator for Pascal. It can help to write more and better Pascal code with less effort. It is particularly good with complex expressions, unrolling loops, and code that gets repeated many times, but slightly different each time.
It seems like a powerful product, with a somewhat strange syntax. This is from what I can tell from the examples given because it is a commercial product (US$79.95) and there is no trial version. Also, the email address to order it is invalid (not that I tried ordering it).

<< It seems like a powerful product, with a somewhat strange syntax. >> What do you find strange about the syntax? I made a great effort to make the syntax as close to standard Pascal as possible. The % signs are needed to distinguish macro statements from Pascal statements, since the macro compiler allows them to mix freely.

I have been eyeing this project for some time, but I somehow lost track of it's current state. I will be making a news post of it when I get some time durring the week.
Good to see you are making great progress with it. Please keep us informed about anything new. :)
