Has anyone out there ever seen or heard of a UCSD p-machine for a VAX ? If not, where might I get a complete p-machine specification ? Also, what is the status of the proposed international standard for Pascal ? Please post replies to the net. Paul Nauman ihuxp!pmn

I don't know of an implementation for a VAX, but the documentation that comes
with the p-System from SofTech includes the 'Internal Architecture Guide' which
describes pretty much everything you need to know (although it requires a bit
of reading between the lines).

I didn't read the original article -- I stumbled across a reply -- so I may be way off the mark. I have adapted the UCSD p-System to run under 4.1bsd Unix on a Vax. It is Version II.0 and, though there are some limitations, it runs quite well. If something like this is what you're after, I'd be glad to send you a copy (if you have a Version II license).

Both conventional 16 bit and extended 32 bit p-machines for UCSD Pascal version II.0 exist for the VAX running Berkeley Unix (4.1a BSD?). The best contact is probably Dennis Volper at the Univ. of Calif. Irvine Computer Science (or whatever they call it) department (area code 714). Mail to sdcsvax!volper may be forwarded. I'm not sure. You will still need a valid II.0 license, I fear. -David
