I have a series of programs implemented on a PDP-10 and CDC/CYBER which I need
to get to run on an IBM-AT. At present I do not have a Pascal compiler and
want to get one. I would like to obtain one with the greater syntax compata-
bility with the mainframe compiler but don't know which of the many micro ver-
sions to choose from. Any advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The compiler is extremely flexible, supports the ansi standard as a subset, and produces extremely good code. Main drawback is price (~$600). Syntactically there should be a fairly high amount of compatibility between Pascal compilers in general. Where they differ is in the implementation of extensions. What I would recommend doing is writing an interface module to make the extensions of the compiler you end up using look more like those on your mainframes. good luck, Archer Sully ucbvax!sgi!archer
