The Standard Pascal web site has been extensively updated. It has the
following new items:
* The CDC 6000 compiler page, containing the source and documents for
The original Pascal compiler at ETH Zurich, has been extensively
updated. It now includes source for the 1972 unrevised compiler, the
first compiler Wirth created for Pascal, as well as the source and
documents for the last CDC 6000 series compiler, the 1984 compiler
modified by the University Minnesota for ISO 7185 standards
compliance.
* The P5 compiler project was added in beta version. The P5 compiler is
the P4 compiler updated to include full Pascal, as well as updated
to compile all features of the ISO 7185 language.
This site is the only web site specifically devoted to the J&W and ISO
7185 versions of the Pascal language (the original Pascal language).
The features you will find on the site are:
* A list of available ISO 7185 Pascal implementations available for your
use.
* The ISO 7185 Pascal FAQ, including
+ What is ISO 7185 Pascal ?
+ The history of Pascal.
+ Status of standards.
+ Difference between several nonstandard implementations such
as Borland, Delphi, and Apple with the standard.
+ What subset of Pascal is acceptable to ALL implementations,
even non-standard ones.
+ Can standard Pascal be crashed ?
+ How to perform strings in standard Pascal.
+ How to perform a "type cast" in standard Pascal (yes, really).
+ What is the extended Pascal standard.
* A complete overview of the rules and working of ISO 7185 Pascal.
* History and BIO on Niklaus Wirth, Pascal's originator.
* The complete standards documents, including the ISO 7185 standard.
* A collection of ISO 7185 Pascal compatible programs, including:
+ Pascal-s, a compiler/interpreter for a Pascal subset.
+ P4 compiler/interpreter, the same one UCSD was based on.
+ P5 compiler/interpreter, P4 brought up to the ISO 7185 standard.
+ Pretty printer.
+ Basic-s, a tiny basic intepreter.
* The Yacc and Flex parsing grammar for ISO 7185 (for people building
Pascal compilers as a student project).
* Information on the original CDC 6400 working basis of Pascal,
including source code to the early compiler implementations.
* The complete scans of the original PUG or Pascal Users' Group
newsletters. This includes a huge amount of the original history of
Pascal.
