Dwight,
MS did make Pascal and it did share some utilities and files with Fortran so that's
probably what you have. Sorry I can't recommend a book since most of my work was with
HP and Turbo Pascal.
FWIW I went to library sale today and found a IBM BASIC compiler package.

Hi
I'm looking for a good reference book on Pascal.
I'm looking for something in the 1982 to 1985 time range.
The Pascal, I have, is said to be MS-Pascal. I didn't know that
they did a Pascal but it may have been someone elses
that they OEM'd. I don't think it is Turbo Pascal
so don't suggest your favorite TP book.
Of course, it isn't on a x86 machine so there may be
differences. 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
Dwight
