Re: ANSI X3.124.2-1988: Graphical Kernel System (GKS) Pascal Binding

Hi
I mean buying that standard not of course means it works for any
ISO/ANSI Pascal compiler. If GKS written to Mainframe that means it
will not work for any ISO/ANSI Pascal compiler. I would not be able to
compile thses GKS programs with the 18$ standard and any ISO/ANSI
Pascal compiler ? Is that right ?
Regards,
