{**********************************************************************}
The ISO 7185 web site was extensively updated. It now has the following
new items:
* The ISO 7185 Pascal FAQ was changed from text to html format.
* The ISO 7185 rules (overview of the language) was changed from text to
html format.
* Several new files that recently became available on the ETH Zurich
site were added, including some classics that were formerly very
difficult to find, including:
+ The 1970, 1972 and 1973 version of the original Pascal language
report.
+ "An axiomatic definition of the programming language Pascal" - the
original mathematical proof of Pascal.
+ "On code generation in a Pascal compiler", the description of the
CDC 6000 compiler for Pascal.
+ "The Pascal P compiler implementation notes" - The manual of how the
P machine works and its intermediate language.
+ "A collection of Pascal programs", an early list of Pascal programs
created by N. Wirth.
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.
+ 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.
