PASCAL on the EECS Instructional computers
------------------------------------------
  The Free Pascal Compiler (http://www.freepascal.org) is installed on the 
  Instructional Solaris x86 computers, including:
  
    worksatations in 277 Soda
    worksatations in HFA C10 (the SelfPaced Center)
    login servers po.eecs.berkeley.edu, torus.berkeley.edu

  You can login to the login servers using 'ssh'.
  Please see http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/connecting.html about 'ssh'.

  Add the Pascal directory to your UNIX search path with the commands:

    % set path = ( /opt/pascal/bin $path )
    % rehash

  Here is a simple PASCAL program:

    (* This is hello.p *)
    program hello (output);
    begin
      writeln ('Hello');
    end.

  To compile:			
  
    % fpc @/share/instsww/fpc/etc/fpc.cfg -n hello.p

  The resulting program will be called "hello".  You can run the
  program with the command (the "./" part tells UNIX it's in your
  current directory):

    % ./hello

  See the on-line manual (below) for more compiler options.


On-Line Manuals for PASCAL
--------------------------
  The on-line manual pages for FPC Pascal are in /share/instsww/fpc/man.
  You can display the man pages with the 'man' command, such as:

    % man -M /share/instsww/fpc/man fpc

  Or you can add the Pascal manuals to your MANPATH with the command

    % setenv MANPATH /share/instsww/fpc/man:$MANPATH

  and display them with the command:

    % man fpc

  Please type "more /share/b/pub/software.help" for more information about
  how to locate softaware on our systems and how to set your PATH and 
  MANPATH environment variables in UNIX.

  The 600-page FPC manual is available under /share/instsww/fpc/doc.
  It will also be accessible soon under the password-protected 
  Documentation Site at http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~inst/pub/.
