I am very interested in compiling and using the IEEE test calculator.
>From the looks of the makefile and the nroff documents I infer that
this was done on a UN*X system.  What pascal compiler did you use?
Pc (which comes with our 4.2BSD standard distribution) chokes horribly
on it.  I have spent some time doing case folding, removing of underscores,
and replacing all occurences of "otherwise" with the "if var in [...]"
programming construct.  However, there still some things which I don't
understand.  What does "program bla(var fred :int) *;" mean (I don't
understant the "*")?

Can you please tell me what some of the "features" of the original compiler
are?  Even better, where can I obtain the correct version of pc?  By the
way, is there a pascal formatter which can be used to make this program more
readable?

Thanks in advance.  You can reply be mail.  I will post the information
if there is a demand for it.
