Heinz,
don't beat me if my memory plays tricks on me, but IIRC, I was using a
Pascal compiler on a PDP-10 in the 1980s, and this compiler had
something to do with the university of Texas and the university of
Hamburg.
If you consider this a serious hint, I might try to dig out some old
documentation and see if any particular names or institutions are
mentioned.
No tapes, however, this is for sure. Sorry.
Regards,
Andreas

Anyone have a copy of this DECtape ?
It's pictured here at the UVA computer museum

More likely it was a compiler/pcode interpreter
for a PDP10or 11, but I could be wrong. Year: 1969-70

The ucsd p-system museum has a DCD6400 tape they
can read with the source to a ver early Pascal system.
Since Pascal was first written for the CDC 6600, the
DECtape mentioned above was likely an early port.
They give this link to a Jensen Wirth interpreter- but it's dead

Finding the files pasint.pas and pascom.pas on a PDP10 tape
from ETH Zurich would be starting point.
I was able to find source for a pascal -s compiler
