By the way... I played around with Swedish Pascal a few years ago, for 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. 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. ? Johnny On 2017-10-31 08:27, Johnny Billquist wrote:

Bunch of guys at Ericsson. Main author is Seved Torstendahl, who I happen to sortof know... (Haven't seen him in 15 years, though. Probably retired now.)

By the way... I played around with Swedish Pascal a few years ago, for 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.

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.

Also, I know there's a vast pile of great RSX stuff om MIM::, is there a map or a list somewhere? I'm finally getting the bigger PDP-11s at the museum set up nicely, and would like to flesh out their OS configurations with some good software.
