The new directives are first, for printing capability:
$LIST $LISTING $PRINT
These are all the same (all three would be equivalent), and control
the generation of listings of source code. Currently the compiler
does not do listings, and I think it's an important feature (Pascal
Compilers from mainframe and minicomputer systems did do this, and I
miss the functionality.)
Nowadays the user has full control over his printer, its capabilities,
and a bunch of tools to provide listings in various formats, fonts etc.
No need for adding all that to an compiler, as opposed to batch
processing on old mainframes.
A most desperately missing feature - Cross Reference generation.
Have a look at Lazarus, where you'll find tools that can do much more
than the old mainframe utilities.
