Line 60:
}}</ref> Many developers preferred Think Pascal over Apple's implementation of Object Pascal because Think Pascal offered a much faster compile–[[Linker (computing)|link]]–debug cycle, and tight integration of its tools. The last official release of Think Pascal was 4.01, in 1992. [[NortonLifeLock|Symantec]] later released an unofficial version 4.5d4 at no charge.
Apple dropped support for Object Pascal when they moved from [[Motorola 68000 series]] chips to IBM's [[PowerPC]] architecture in 1994. MacApp 3.0,
[[Metrowerks]] offered with [[CodeWarrior]] an Object Pascal compiler for Macintosh that targeted both [[Motorola 68000 series|68k]] and [[PowerPC]], both in their IDE and as MPW tools. Macintosh developers using Object Pascal had a path to port to the [[PowerPC]], even architecture after both Apple and Symantec dropped support. [[MacApp]] 2.0, written in Object Pascal, was ported to the PowerPC using [[CodeWarrior]]. <ref name=mt1995_11>
