- How to Use the Tutorials in Personal Pascal
- By Jinfu Chen
- Jan. 1987
-
- This package contains a public domain Turbo Pascal tutorial. Although
- it is designed for Turbo Pascal used in MS-DOS and CP/M systems, it can
- be used in Atari ST with Persoanl Pascal from OSS with little change.
-
- I found this one in a local IBM BBS. After reading thru the whole package
- and complied the example programs, I feel this tutorial can be recommended
- to Personal Pascal users for the purpose of learning generic Pascal. It
- is well written and the style is very informal, unlike many Pascal text
- books in the market. Following is a list of all the files in this package
- with comments I made to point out the differences between Turbo Pascal and
- Personal Pascal when using the tutorial.
-
- I hope you will like it and feel free to leave me your comments and
- questions either to my BBS, MANIAC BBS 207-854-2687 or in GEnie's Atari ST
- RoundTable category 3 topic 2 where is the place for Pascal fans.

- Note:
-
- * : Programs can be compiled without modification in Personal Pascal
- % : The CASE statement extention in Turbo Pascal and Personal Pascal is
- different. In Personal Pascal, the ELSE( or OTHERWISE ) option needs
- a colon ':' before the next statement. For example:
-
- CASE variable1 OF
- value1 : statement1 ;
- value2 : statement2 ;
- .
- .
- .
- valuen : statementn ;
- ELSE : statementn+1 ;
- ^
-
- The compiler directive $U+ in Turbo Pascal has other meaning in Personal
- Pascal: define user memory. However, due to the syntax in the tutorial
- programs, you can leave it intact and still be able to compile it
- successfully.
