We had the whole developers kit at some time, and ported it to a mc68k.
That was VERY easy, and I was really impressed with the performance and
how easy it was to use (AFTER that I had my first experience with it on
an apple;-)) Even the graphic part was nice (we had a bitmapped display
on it).
IIRC, the pcode interpreter had a 64k limit on data and code, but
imageine what you can do with 64k of pcode ;-)
And, imagine how easy it is to make a multi-user system, if you have
enough memory, and could switch just the data/code segments ...
cheers

so, please put it open source ...
Well for back then I would say , all was just as flakey.
The only thing pascal was 'is portable' ( barely ) on the
8 bit machines.
