Because of some of the unique history projects going on
for the CDC 6000 computer series, I have made available
an online scan of the original CDC 6000 Pascal compiler
source at:
http://www.standardpascal.org/CDC6000pascal.html
The Standard Pascal page page gives many historical items
of interest on Wirths' original Pascal.
The CDC 6000 compiler is the first operational compiler
for Pascal, in revised form. This is Pascal of 1976, when
it started on its road to fame.
The listings feature the main compiler code in Pascal,
a runtime support library in Pascal, a runtime support
library in Compass, the CDC 6000 assembly language, and
an error formatting program.
This scan comes to you courtesy of Mr. John Dykstra, who
donated the original listings to me.
There are a lot of items showing up for the CDC 6000
series computer, including full tapes of the Pascal
compiler, and these are said to run on the CDC emulator
that Tom Hunter runs. I hope to have some screenshots
of the original compiler running to post on the website.
In addition, there are electronic copies of the source.
I am talking to Zurich and the University of Minnesota
to get the release rights for the material (it is marked
as copyrighted).
