********************** WE MOVED *********************
The standard Pascal web site now has its' own
separate domain:
http://www.standardpascal.org
********************** WE MOVED *********************
The Standard Pascal web site is the only place you will find all of the
original papers on Pascal, original programs, and original history
collected in one place.
Because the Standard Pascal web site includes important, one of a kind
historical items concerning the language Pascal, it is my intent to
arrange for it to appear even if I can no longer maintain it.
*****************************************************
The Standard Pascal web site has been extensively updated. It has the
following new items:
* The ISO 7185 Pascal FAQ was extensively changed, including:
- Larger book section.
- Comparision between ISO 7185 language and Delphi was reworked using
tests run on both types of compilers.
- New string handling library using only standard Pascal.
- Boolean math examples were improved and corrected.
- New section on parsing input without errors.
* A new ISO 7185 compliance report was performed for GNU Pascal.
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.
* The complete scans of the original PUG or Pascal Users' Group
newsletters. This includes a huge amount of the original history of
Pascal.
