Re: [Simh] anyone know how to convert/translate turbo pascal to vax pascal?

Hello, Dan I have a good knowledge on OpenVMS Pascal programming. Can you provide us with an example of source code that generates writeln errors ? Cordialement/Regards Jean-Claude Parel 21, Chemin De La Sauvegarde OpenVMS Architect Ecully, 69132 458601 France Global Business Services

Re: [Simh] anyone know how to convert/translate turbo pascal to vax pascal?

I didn't port it from vax pascal. in fact, I've never done any vax pascal programming in my life. I ported it from vax fortran to turbo pascal. yeah, that was fun, not. but now I want to move my new code back to the vax in whatever language. vax basic is the one I'm most familiar with, followed

Re: [Simh] anyone know how to convert/translate turbo pascal to vax pascal?

Despite porting the program from VAX Pascal to various flavours of other Pascal, it seems you don’t recall much about the language. Moving from Pascal to BASIC would be quite an exercise. In VAX Pascal the reserved identifiers INPUT and OUTPUT refer to SYS$INPUT and SYS$OUTPUT, respectively.

Re: [Simh] anyone know how to convert/translate turbo pascal to vax pascal?

I found a hello world pascal example online for vms, so at least that much I can get working. however, all the docs online are not so useful for programming itself. my code has input and output from the terminal and from files. the hello program uses: program hello(output); so not sure how to do

Re: [Simh] anyone know how to convert/translate turbo pascal to vax pascal?

Dan What exact version of Pascal compiler are you using ? (presumably you are using OpenVMS 7.3 on a VAX as the operating system) What is the exact message the complier gives concerning the writeln() function? Can you generate a simple “proof of concept” and share what you are doing ?

Hi all A bit off topic, but Im not a historical Dec user so don’t know some of the basics with Dec OSes and have never oped one before. I have installed and configured Tops-10 on a simh PDP10. It is all fine, but when I am creating user accounts I have bumped into two minor issues and after

Re: [Simh] RSTS/E Reminiscing

Hi John, Paul Nankervis grabbed an image of the V6C tape I had been hording for almost 40 years and found a 1 block error that caused INIT.SYS to stop with an "INIT BUG". You are probably running that copy of V6C as no other copy has been found (in 40 years). Ashley Carder had (I think) V6A

[Simh] ANN: Go (Golang) package for handling SIMH-standard tape image files

Not sure if anyone's interested, but I just put up a Go package (library) for handling SIMH tape files. https://github.com/SMerrony/simhtape There's also a demo program which uses the package to scan, dump and even create tape images. Steve --- Stephen Merrony -
