GNU was working on a pascal compiler. We got a copy in November '89 so they
may have enhanced it quit a bit by now. It was a early version like 0.5 or
something like that. It did not allow nested procedures and it had a slight
problem with sets. These problems may be fixed by now. 

We got it off of santra.hut.fi however last time I looked it was not there
and I do not know where or if it was relocated.
