From the looks of the makefile and the nroff documents I infer that this was done on a UN*X system. What pascal compiler did you use? Pc (which comes with our 4.2BSD standard distribution) chokes horribly on it. I have spent some time doing case folding, removing of underscores, and replacing all occurences of "otherwise" with the "if var in [...]" programming construct. However, there still some things which I don't understand. What does "program bla(var fred :int) *;" mean (I don't understant the "*")? Can you please tell me what some of the "features" of the original compiler are? Even better, where can I obtain the correct version of pc? By the way, is there a pascal formatter which can be used to make this program more readable? Thanks in advance. You can reply be mail. I will post the information if there is a demand for it.
