Announcement letter:  281-65  THE IBM PERSONAL COMPUTER


From the announcement:

       The Pascal Compiler is available as an optional software
product. The IBM Personal Computer Pascal version supports all of the
facilities of the International Standards Organization (ISO) Working
Draft #6, with the exception of conformant array parameters, which
are instead provided by the "super array" type. Many additional
features are also supported.
       The Pascal program must be created as a source (text) file
using a text editor such as the EDLIN utility program that is
packaged with DOS on the DOS Diskette. The Pascal Compiler is then
used to compile the program, producing a machine language (object)
file in relocatable format. Finally, the Linker program, packaged
with DOS on the DOS Diskette, is used to convert the relocatable
program into one that is ready for loading and execution at a
specific memory address.
       A minimum 128KB two-diskette system is required to produce the
final load module, although the module itself may be executable in a
smaller system.  If the program performs diskette I/O, the IBM
Personal Computer DOS must be diskette and memory resident.
