- PascalP and it's companion programs are copyright (c), 1987
- by C.B. Falconer. They may be distributed on public systems,
- and used for personal non-profit purposes. They may not be
- sold, nor included in packages for sale, without the express
- written permission of C.B. Falconer.
-
- This library directory is datestamped.
-
- All files are protected by CCITCRC checksums, in both crunched
- and uncrunched form. Extract with LT (available separately).
- After (optionally) customizing the timer systems in INTERPC and
- INTERPCI, rename them to be RUNPCD and RUNPCDI respectively.
-
- Use of the Profiler system requires a timer installation.
-
- TEST319.PAS demonstrates some of the new features of PascalP
- v 3.1.9. This release includes generation of .COM files, which
- requires SLRMAC (or Z80ASM) and SLRNK (or SLRNK+) from SLR systems.
- The resultant code is 8080 executable (or on V20's or 8085s). All
- features of earlier documentation still apply, however compilation
- is now much faster, and can execute in less memory. (I compile
- 7000 lines of PascalP, with over 1200 identifiers, in a 63k CPM
- system at 2.5 Mhz at up to 200 lines per minute).
-
- PASCALP IS ISO/ANSI STANDARD - except for GOTO out of procedures
- and passing functions/procedures as parameters.
-
- L80/M80 is not presently supported, because a) library main-
- tenance is impossible with LIB80 (it consistently looses the
- last portion of large libraries), and b) the 6 character name
- limitation can cause unexpected errors and c) it is slooow.

- Contributions
-
- Contributions are solicited. Contributions of over $50 will
- receive the full source code of the systems programs on (your
- choice) Kaypro 4 format or IBM 9 sector DSDD format disks.
-
- Contributions of $100 will also receive the full source of the
- run-time library, allowing generation of ROM mounted systems
- and custom I/O packages (e.g. A/D converters mapped into files
- of reals, etc.). This system is ideally suited to critical
- processing, such as medical systems, since full overflow checks
- are made, and complete run-time range checking is the default.
- Note that CPM is simply one possible system under which this
- can run. Power-on and go dedicated systems can be routinely
- created.
-
- Commercial users should contact me directly for licencing.
