Pascal (programming language): Difference between revisions

Removed file extensions. This is material to specific implementation of Pascal, not to the language itself, which is the subject of the article. It would be ok under a section discussing specific implementations of Pascal.
Line 89:
 
Pascal-P5, created outside the Zürich group, accepts the full Pascal language and includes ISO 7185 compatibility.
 
Pascal-P6 is a follow on to Pascal-P6 that along with other features, aims to be a compiler for specific CPUs, including AMD64.
 
[[UCSD Pascal]] branched off Pascal-P2, where [[Kenneth Bowles]] used it to create the [[Interpreter (computing)|interpretive]] UCSD p-System. It was one of three operating systems available at the launch of the original [[IBM Personal Computer]].<ref>[http://www.cbi.umn.edu/oh/pdf/oh392jb.pdf cbi.umn.edu], "An Interview with John Brackett and Doug Ross"{{dead link |date=March 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes}}, p15, Charles Babbage Institute, 2004</ref> UCSD Pascal used an intermediate code based on byte values, and thus was one of the earliest ''[[bytecode]] compilers''. [[Apple Pascal]] was released in 1979 for the Apple 2 and Apple 3 computer systems. It was an implementation of, or largely based on, UCSD Pascal. Pascal-P1 through Pascal-P4 was not, but rather based on the CDC 6600 60-bit word length.
