Canterbury Pascal for Java

Description

A Pascal compiler with integrated make & build facilities for the Java runtime introduced in 1999 by Mill Hill & Canterbury Corporation and based on their earlier Canterbury Modula-2 for Java and Canterbury Oberon-2 for Java. To integrate better with the Java environment the tool allows direct import of any foreign Java class by listing it in an USES clause, eliminating the need for Pascal interface units in that respect. The compiler generates native Java 1.1 code that should run on all more recent Java versions and on Java-like environments or most Java subsets as used in mobile phones, etc.
