Pascal for the IBM Personal Computer
The success of the IBM Personal Computer has opened up vast new opportunities for software programmers and developers, many of whom will choose to program in Pascal. Pascal offers serious programmers a structured approach to designing programs and precise control over many of the IBM PC's features―advantages that make it especially popular for business and other complex applications. Furthermore, Pascal has proved to be extremely popular for home programmers who wish to increase the complexity and efficiency of their own programs.
PASCAL FOR THE IBM PERSONAL COMPUTER is a thorough guide to the two major versions of Pascal available for the IBM. Written for both experienced programmers, who will appreciate the comparison of the subtleties of both versions, and those new to Pascal, who will find it a complete introduction to this powerful language, PASCAL FOR THE IBM PERSONAL COMPUTER gives you:
• A complete introduction to both IBM and UCSD Pascal
• Instructions for using the compilers and useful explanations of how they work
• Information on file handling, pointers, error handling, and other subtleties of the languages
• Numerous program examples that demonstrate Pascal applications in mailing lists, electronic calendars, billing systems, communications, utility programs, and more!
Anyone who already programs in Pascal, or those who are eager to advance their programming skills, will appreciate this thoughtful look at the unique way in which Pascal has been adapted to the number-one computer of the decade.
