Pascal fans: Could I have some suggestions for books to learn Pascal from. (Experienced programmer in numerous other languages, and some 'C'. is it ok to use the C word in this news group? ;-) ) I'll be learning/ coding from Vax/Vms machines. Perhaps some from Turbo Pascal as well. Thanx in advance. Bill W.

My personal favorite is:
"Programming in PASCAL" by Grogono, Addison-Wesley Pub.
Good books using or about Pascal:
"Alogorithm + Data Structures = Program", N. Wirth
"Software Tools in Pascal", Kernighan & Plauguer -- really great if you want
to be able to *use* for a varity of things, such as have some of the
flexibiity of C.
"Standard PASCAL, User Reference Manual", D. Cooper, Norton Pub.

The books I learned from and found quite useful were Oh! Pascal! and Cooper's Condensed Pascal both by Doug Cooper. The second is actually a condensed version of the first as the title suggests. - dave
