puter system. In 1971 one computer system had a Pascal compiler. By
1974 the number had grown to 10 and in 1979 there were more than
80. Pascal is always available on those ubiquitous breeds of
computer systems: personal computers andl professional
workstations. Questions arising out of the Southampton Symposium on
Pascal in 1977 [Reference 10] began the first organized effort to
write an officially sanctioned, international Pascal Standard.
Participants sought to consolidate the list of questions that
naturally arose when people tried to implement Pascal compilers
using definitions found in the Pascal User Manual and Report. That
effort culminated in the ISO 7185 Pascal Standard [Reference 11]
which officially defines Pascal and necessitated the revision of
this book. We have chosen to modify the User Manual and the Report
with respect to the Standard - not to make this book a substitute
for the Standard. As a result this book retains much of its
readability and elegance which, we believe, set it apart from the
Standard. We updated the syntactic notation to Niklaus Wirth's EBNF
and improved the style of programs in the User Manual. For the
convenience of readers familiar with previous editions of this
book, we have included Appendix E which summarizes the changes
necessitated by the Standard.
