Is there a pascal mode for emacs with begin/end balancing, missing semicolon detection, and automatic indenting? I am interested in any (nontrivial) subset or superset of these capabilities. We have a mode which does automatic capitalizing of reserved words (making them unreadable by our pascal compiler, Berkeley pc) leaving comments alone, but I would like something more 'electric'. Pascal compiles very slowly on our system and any help in reducing dumb errors will make life easier. Am I asking too much of emacs?

Interesting that you should ask about the Pascal-mode. I am currently
working (90% complete) on a package to do just what you request.
It is somewhat slow, but very "electric" -- sort of like an interactive
Pascal interpreter. I will say nothing more about it, since I hate
pre-mature announcements. (but I couldn't resist!)
I will post to the net when done.
