Using PASCAL on Linux

Linux comes with a lot of compilers and interpreters. These include programs for C, C++, Perl, TCL/TK and more. Unfortunately most Linux distributions don't come with a Pascal compiler. Is it possible to compile Pascal programs? It sure is.

Several projects were started to make a Pascal compiler for Linux. One is called GNU Pascal and is available from http://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/~gnu-pascal. That program will also run on any operating system that supports the GNU C compiler.
