Hello world!

I am seeking a book for a friend learning pascal.  This book should not
deal with syntax, she is more interested in non-trivial programs using
interesting algorithms and data structures.  There should be tasks with
detailed explained solutions.  Perhaps a book with only a few, but big
programs would be fine.  She does *not* want a book about some tricks
with Turbo Pascal on PCs, solving real world problems with ANSI Pascal is
better.

I heard about books dealing with only one project, for example a editor
or a spreadsheet, which is first specified.  Then, chapter by chapter, it
is explained how to structure and to solve the problem. Alternative
solutions should be discussed as well.  The book ends with a program
which solves the problem.  Knowing about such books would be nice, too.

Namaskaar
