Here's another data point for you, Bob.  I too tried to use UTS Pascal 
and found some problems.  I reported one of the problems in June of 
1986 to Amdahl and the IH comp center.  It took Amdahl 13 months to 
diagnose the problem and come back with a workaround.  The problem?  
I had a comment in a compound expression.  Delete all comments from 
your source, and the compiler ate it just fine.  If you want to use 
Pascal, you are on the right track looking for something other than 
Amdahl's version.
