Does standard Pascal provide for a variable number of parameters to be
passed to a function or procedure?

In other words, when I say WRITELN I can include any number of parameters
(additionally, of any data type), to the WRITELN procedure.  Is there a way
to write my own procedures to accept any number of parameters of any data
type?

I am presently writing in Microsoft Pascal 4.0, but I am really curious as
to whether this is provided for in the Pascal Standard.

Thanks ...
