[comp.lang.pascal] Object Oriented Programming in Pascal

grs@wucs1.wustl.edu (Guillermo Ricardo Simari) (01/19/89)

I am looking for references, pointers to literature, pointers
to existing systems on the subject of Object Oriented Programming
using Pascal. (It would be nice to see a discussion of the topic
here also). Thank you very much in advance,

i too would like to hear about it.

i support a pascal compiler written in pascal. it is huge and not well
organized. up until i learned about object oriented programming, i had no
mental model for such a large task. you could make them up, but without
a language that enforces such rules your nice conventions get broken
in the heat of the upcoming release.

all i have found on object oriented pascal is apple's mpw pascal that
contains object oriented features.

i'd like to find more.

Apple does have a object-oriented version of Pascal for the Macintosh.  In 
addition, 2 3rd party developers provide implementations of the same 
language.  The language specification was published in an article:

Object Pascal Report by Larry Tesler.  Published in Structured Language 
World vol 9 no 3, 1985.

The language spec was explicitly made public domain in that article.  
However, I don't know of anyone who has implemented Object Pascal on a 
different machine.
