Stony Brook Pascal+

Description

A 16 bit Pascal compiler for OS/2 and DOS, supported both Standard Pascal (ISO 7185) and the Turbo Pascal variations of the language, it is believed that later versions could also handle Extended Pascal (ISO 10206). The compiler traced its origins to an optimising multi-pass compiler originally developed for the IBM System/360 in the 1970's and it was notable in its day for producing code that was at the least twice as fast as what the single-pass Turbo Pascal could archive. Unlike the Stony Brook Professional Modula-2 package there appears never to have been a 32 bit version of Pascal+ delivered even though one was announced in 1992, and the product was withdrawn from the market in the latter half of the 90's.
