Abstract: This compiler implements the PASCAL programming language on
PDP-11's running RSX-11 and on other systems that can run RSX
tasks (eg. RSTS, VAX AME).
The main features of this PASCAL are:
. Can optionally compile programs to use any arithmetic
hardware
. Enhanced I/O facilities for creating and accessing files of various
types
. Standard file for terminal I/O
. Separate compilation of procedures/functions
. Linkage to external FORTRAN or MACRO routines
. Source "include" facility
. Development aids, statement trace, statement execution profiler,
conditional compilation
. High level interactive symbolic debugger and symbolic
dump
. All source and tools provided for maintaining the compiler and
runtime library (compiler can only be recompiled on
RSX-11)
. Useful language extensions: default case, loop statement,
variable length string parameters, substring parameters,
structured function results, boundless array parameters and
more
Restrictions: Several deviations from ISO/ANSI PASCAL Standard.
(Conformance report in documentation.)
