   Of course, it isn't on a x86 machine so
there may be
 differences.  
?
what version are you talking about? 
Hi Fred
 I'm not sure if this will help much because it was obviously
cross compiled to run on a Z8000. Here is what prints out:

Olivetti M20 Professional Computer Pascal Compiler Version 1.2

 There is a file listing some of the library references that
mentions that it is MS-Pascal. There is a librarian called
mlib.cmd.
 You know, I'd only ask about weird things.

...

  I am mostly interested in the kind of things
 one would normally find in the object library that one
 would use with this compiler. They mention that it is
 a shared library with MS-FORTRAN. Information on FORTRAN
 libraries might also be useful.
 Thanks

The Microsoft/IBM FORTRAN was adequate for teaching FORTRAN 77.  But the
performance was AMAZING!  It could actually take longer to run a benchmark
like sieve of Erastothanes with compiled FORTRAN than with interpreted
BASIC. 
 I fear this may be similar. It takes 3 disk of code, just to run
the Pascal compiler ( 280K disk ). If this is any indication, I'd
suspect the final code isn't all that swift. I just want to play
with it a little.
