Scott:
FPC certainly qualifies as a cross platform OS, and I believe it runs well on MacOS??
It does run, but because they have a legacy of bells and whistles it doesn't comple vanilla Pascal from 1982 (ISO 7185?) "
I'd like some more details on that. I have very extensive testing services with Pascal-P5, and FPC passes, or did pass, my ISO 7185 tests.
It's been a while. For my program to directly access files in the local diretory I have a script that adds assignments. These are non-standard as I understand it (that is, they would differ by differenting operating systems). There were some special compiler directives. They were incorporating things and maybe the latest version (which I have not gotten) is easier to compile with. I would have to dig around to find more details.
You can also just compile your stuff with Pascal-P5. As mentioned, it is perhaps the most rigorous test of ISO 7185 compliance you will find today.
I see I have a directory for P4. Apparently I played with it in 2015 according to my notes. This is from my notes [2015 Nov 17]:
http://homepages.cwi.nl/~steven/pascal/p4c.tar.gz Lots of errors. FUBAR.
I also have a directory for p5c ... and we communicated in 2016! You asked if it would be ok to put copies of my code online (yes). You mentioned:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/pascalp5/
I don't understand the difference between p4 and p5. I see p6 is under development. If I try it, should I use:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/pascalp5/files/pascal-p5_1_3.tar.gz/downloa...
You sound like a pretty advanced user of ISO 7185 Pascal, we should keep in touch.
I'm not particularly 'advanced' - I just have a large legacy of Pascal programs that I use for understanding a fundamental theory of biology.

Ok.

Thomas,
I don't understand the difference between p4 and p5. I see p6 is under development. If I try it, should I use:
Pascal-P4 is a Pascal subset. Pascal-P5 is full ISO 7185. Pascal-P6 is an extended Pascal. P5 is 1.3, so yes, pascal-p5_1_3.tar.gz.
Regards,
Scott Franco
