It took me a few days to locate the manuals and check the date

and the file is 397 blocks with a date of 19-Sep-1985. There is
also a PASCAL.OBJ file with the libraries.
For some reason, there must have been some development after
1999, so there is also a patched file which provides the correct
date on the listing file which is generated. The patch is less than
a dozen extra instructions and consists of a subroutine call which
checks the 2 high order bits of the date to determine the correct
year under RT-11. There are no corresponding patches for the
libraries at this time.
If anyone is able to sort out the IP aspects, I can make the files
available along with the manuals which are in poor condition.

Good luck trying to find anyone there that knows that they had

I never knew they did anything PDP-11 related until the late-90's,
thanks in part to this list.

Hmm. That turned out to be slightly different than what I expected... :-)
But anyway, OMSI Pascal was carried on by Oregon Software, which if I
understand things right was a spinoff from OMSI. That is the company I
would like to find the remnants of. > OMSI

That's still what it stands for, and they're still around.
They are? We should talk to them about getting the OMSI Pascal
released then. There are things I'd like to improve in there... :-)
