It was a considerable achievement anyhow. I have a box full of 8 inch disks somewhere with the original system for the 8080. They originated the concept of units. Unlike Turbo Pascal, USCD Pascal was pretty well standards compliant, with many extensions.
Also in the file I/O area?
Pretty well IIRC. They fouled up console i/o by inverting the order of get in read (i.e. read(C) = get(input); c = input^; instead of c = input^; get(input; I guess they didn't read Pascal News, so didn't know about lazy i/o.
