[comp.lang.pascal] UCSD Pascal

rzh@lll-lcc.llnl.gov (Roger Hanscom) (11/15/88)

It is my task in life (at least right now!!) to support and
administer two networks of workstations (mostly SUN's) that
are used by a very diverse group.  One of these people is a
fan (that's putting it mildly!!) of UCSD Pascal.  More like
a fanatic.  He runs it on an IBM/PC and on a stand-alone,
Z80-based micro, complete with dual 8" floppies!!  He has
asked me about the possibility of getting a SUN version of
UCSD Pascal.  Being only a part time Pascal hack, I can't
answer his question.  Do any of you know if such a thing is
available for the SUN workstation or UNIX??  I am aware of
the history of the product, and the fact that the vendor that
took it over from U.C. went out of business.  What is the
status of all this now??
We, of course, have the SUN Pascal compiler available as well
as a single copy of Oregon's compiler, but he finds these both
poor substitutes (SUN's somewhat poorer than Oregon's).

BTW - I'm not a regular reader of this group, so e-mail replies
would probably be best.
