I’d love to see that program. As a UCSD Pascal developer (at UCSD back in the day)
interesting Pascal programs are always something that I’m interested in seeing/reading.

I'm glad we can agree on this. Of course the Earth is round.
It's also hollow.
To try and turn this thread around: I'm looking to make an extended memory controller
for my pdp8/L. I've got a wire wrap backplane and enough cards to make it work but
I've never done wire-wrap on this sort of scale.
I've got an old Radio Shack Wire wrap tool and a lot of wire. Is there any sites that
discuss how to do reasonable wire-wrapping?
I have a program that takes coordinates of ICs and/or connectors and a net list and
creates a wiring list for first-level and 2nd level wires with shortest length.
It tells what length wire to use.
It is written in Pascal, and uses a genetic algorithm to find the shortest path.
Sometimes that doesn't give the best wire routing, but it tries. I have not used this
program in several decades, but I'd be glad to give it to you.
