===== Description =====

Pascal is a high-level programming language named after the French philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal (1623-1662). Nicklaus Wirth developed the language starting in 1968. It is a descendant of the Algol family of languages ​​that incorporates structured programming principles.

NEVADA Pascal was designed specifically for the CP / M operating system. It includes many cutting-edge features that were previously unavailable in any microcomputer language.

With NEVADA Pascal, programs of virtually unlimited size can be developed. External functions and procedures written in Pascal or assembly language are compiled separately. They are automatically loaded from disk when they are first referenced, or they can be merged with the main program to form a module. The advanced dynamic storage system will purge infrequently used procedures if the storage fills up. Dynamic storage compression ensures optimal use of the primary storage resource.

Floating point arithmetic provides 14 digits of precision. All standard functions are supported.
The input / output system supports sequential disk files and two types of random files. With the "relative byte address" option, random files of variable length records can be processed. The data in the disk file can be written in ASCII format or internal binary format.

The built-in CALL procedure provides direct access to all services of the CP / M operating system. The built-in MAP procedure allows any region of main storage to be accessed as if it were a Pascal variable. The hardware input / output ports are directly accessible.

Debugging is simplified by tracking the line number and tracking the procedure name, which the program can turn on and off at run time.

Activate, the activity analyzer, can be used to monitor the execution of a program and print a histogram showing the amount of activity in each area of ​​the program.
