What textbook would you suggest to a colleague of mine who has to teach Pascal to a group of students in a Collece of Further Education (that is, a college of a lower academic level than university or polytechnic)? The students have access to IBM PC clone computers and are aged around 16 to 18 years. The book had best be cheap, available in the U.K. and easy to read. It need not cover particularly difficult features. Please E-mail to me and I'll pass your replies on. My e-mail address is really ken@aiai.ed.ac.uk, not what it says in the header (though that will reach me eventually).

'"a pascal intro text for 16-18 year-olds somewhere in England"' you might try to find Henry Ledengards (spelling uncertain) ELEMENTARY PASCAL. this came through intro courses a few years ago, so i don't know its current availability. as i recall, there was a constant theme of sherlock holmes running through cover to cover. an encyphering problem was, obviously, one of the assignments. this kind of textbook device was too silly for college level (ACM CS-1), but i thought it might have use for younger readers. stan BITNET : XM0P @ PURCCVM (* note, zero, not Oh *) SnailMail : Special Education; Purdue University; W.
