By the way... I played around with Swedish Pascal a

some needs I had for Pascal. I hit some snags with Oregon Pascal, and
then tried Swedish, and realized the code generated is rather ugly, and
it was going to be a gigantic effort if you ever want it to be able to
run with split I/D space, so I gave up on it.
I want it because I wrote tons of code with it back in the 1980s. I
still have most of that code, and would like to hack on it again. I was
running on an 11/34, no I/D space, so that was never a limitation for me.
It's a pretty good compiler in terms of features that make it easy to
get work done. I enjoyed it very much back then. Hopefully I will now
too. :-)
There is also the DEC PDP-11 Pascal, which I never
tried getting to run,
as it appeared it wasn't any better than Oregon.
I have Oregon Pascal somewhere, but haven't done anything with it.
